Our approach transcends traditional disciplinary investigation by adopting a wide and integrated perspective of the Earth's dynamic systems: the lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere. This approach includes the need for considering people and their activities within planning and management frameworks, and the resulting focus on the synergies between science and policy-making is applied across all the Institute's courses.
We invite you to explore our taught and research programmes at diploma, undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and to browse the list of study-units we offer.
We aim to provide students on all our courses with an enjoyable and stimulating learning experience, and to equip our graduates with a problem-solving outlook which, combined with the scientific and management expertise acquired, is instrumental for success in their future lives and careers.
The Institute of Earth Systems also has a strong track record in international research and is able to draw on a wide network of research associates. The Institute's publications are collected within the University Library's Open Access Repository (OAR). Also available for download are the full texts of a number of books published by the Institute in recent years.
