Fundamentals of Earth Sciences
A.Y. 2018/2019
Learning objectives
This course is designed to provide students with an overview of the natural environment in which we live and the way it functions, at varying scales from local to global. Specifically, it aims to introduce students to important concepts, facts, and terminology of earth sciences and impart an appreciation of the interrelationships between humans and their environment. Introduction to Earth Sciences is an ideal course for students wishing to develop a fundamental understanding of Earth systems and gain a greater appreciation for the physical landscapes around them. The introduction of many basic, physical processes, such as global circulation, plate tectonics, and fluvial systems, make Introduction to Earth Sciences a useful foundation for other geo-courses.
