Earth scientists are essential to meeting society's future challenges around climate and environmental change, sustainable extraction of critical resources such as water, and minerals for new and emerging technologies.

 

Across a range of industries, Earth scientists use sophisticated instruments to determine the properties of Earth and planetary materials, and to help understand the evolution of the Earth and the controls and direction of its climate and biosphere.

 

In this course, you will gain advanced knowledge in Earth sciences and learn how to apply that knowledge to scientific, social and ethical issues. You'll also use digital technologies and learn to gather and interpret data that are relevant to Earth sciences applications and careers.
