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.

Ways of knowing: how can traditional knowledge enrich geoscience education?

Futurum

For example, a geochemist might study the elemental composition of water in a river, a physical geographer might examine the river’s flow rate and an engineer might investigate the river’s likelihood of flooding. Indigenous people are underrepresented in geoscience departments at all levels, from students to professors to administrators.
