A rocky revolution: Can virtual 3D models transform the teaching of geology? Published: Fieldwork has long been a mainstay of geology education, but it is not everyone’s cup of tea. Geological features — physical features of the Earth (e.g., Geological features — physical features of the Earth (e.g.,

Modelling mines: how can a new 3D modelling platform make mining more sustainable and be part of the solution to climate change?

Futurum

These data are collected from surveys of the surface geology and drill holes, which allow geologists to build a picture of the subsurface rock. They produce samples that reveal how an orebody is layered (its stratigraphy) and other aspects of its lithology and physical characteristics. What is Loop? How does Loop work?

Geochemical proxy data are specific chemical compositions measured from natural physical archives that tell us about the environmental conditions when the organisms grew. Many different factors can affect the chemistry of seawater including temperature, ocean circulation, biological and hydrothermal activity and ice melt.

What landscapes are hidden deep within the Earth?

Futurum

Between the core and the crust is the solid mantle, which makes up two-thirds of the Earth’s mass and is the source of magma that occasionally reaches the surface via volcanic eruptions. As a seismologist at the University of Oxford, she is using seismic waves to image the structures that exist deep within the Earth.

What is the fate of dissolved oxygen in our oceans?

Futurum

CLIMATE MODELS — big computer models that use maths, physics and chemistry to characterise how energy and matter (solid, gas or fluid) flow between the hydrosphere (oceans, ice, rivers and lakes), atmosphere and land. You can study for a degree in oceanography or a related subject, like ocean science, geology or environmental science.
