Geology - AS

UPDATED 20160802 08:58:47

Geology involves the scientific study of the history and development of the Earth, its resources and the biodiversity that has existed throughout its lifetime. It is a broad-based and highly practical science subject, which combines well with Geography, Environmental Studies, Maths, Physics or Chemistry. This course presents many opportunities to undertake fieldwork and lab investigations, with recent trips to locations including Dorset’s Jurassic coastline and an Oxfordshire quarry. You will examine rock, fossil and mineral samples to build a picture of the Earth’s development, and develop a strong understanding of plate tectonics, the production of rocks, environmental geology, the fossil record and evolution. Areas of study will also include earthquakes, volcanoes, climate change and a critical evaluation of our planet’s resources.
