Courses
Geology is fundamental to our understanding of the planet on which we live: not only rocks, but also minerals, fossils, earthquakes, volcanoes, climate change, land, sea and ice. Planet Earth tells its story from 4.6 billion years ago to the present day.
Iceland, Hawaii, Canary Islands, Krakatoa, Santorini, Yellowstone: just a few of the world's active and ancient volcanic regions featuring in this course. Discover the geological reasons why volcanoes erupt, and why some volcanoes are more dangerous.
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.
