EOSC 310 · The Earth and the Solar System

In EOSC310, we will start the story with the Big Bang, followed by the origin of matter, the solar system, the structure of Earth and plate tectonics. We will then explore the history of Earth including the origin of life, and the co-evolution of ocean, atmosphere and the solid Earth. In the final module we consider the impact of Human beings on the Earth system and possible futures beyond today.
