Courses
Develop a practical understanding of geological landscapes in Oxfordshire and adjacent counties. See the rock outcrops and learn techniques for geological fieldwork by visiting geological localities within driving distance of Oxford.
Discover Earth's origin, its chemical composition, continents and oceans, mountains, earthquakes, volcanoes, the history of life, climate change, energy resources, species diversity and natural disasters: geological science explains all these and more.
Geology determines the underlying nature of landscape, but mankind has utilised, modified and shaped the Earth's surface through several millennia of occupation. We examine the roles of geology and people in forming a range of distinctive landscapes.
