The landscape around us has been shaped by water, wind, ice and life itself. This introductory course on geomorphology takes us on an (imaginary) journey from mountain peaks to abyssal plains, studying landscapes in Scotland and abroad. Tuesdays from 18th April 2023 11:10am - 1:00pm • (6 classes) G37 Paterson's Land, Holyrood Campus, Edinburgh • Tutor: Nikolaos Kourampas […]
Palaeontology is the study of prehistoric life. Fossils record the history of life on Earth from fossil organic molecules to mighty dinosaurs. Understanding the rich array of life that has previously inhabited Earth has allowed us to understand the mechanisms of evolution that cannot be gleaned from living organisms alone. In this course you will […]
After a short preparatory session, this course ventures out to five superb field sites to explore geology in the field. We will investigate extinct volcanoes, tropical coral reefs, and the mangled strata of mountain building. The field trips will involve walking for approximately 6km at each field site over uneven terrain which will include some […]
