This module is aimed at students with an interest in the physics of climate change, its effects on the natural environment and how
those can be analysed through geospatial data. In the climate modelling unit, student will learn about the numerical,
computational and modelling concepts than underlie general circulation models and coupled climate models, which are the
primary tools to explain and/or predict the dynamics of past and future climate. The natural environment is here represented by
rivers and deltas, which provide an instructive and societal-relevant study case to learn about the interaction between climate
change and the surface of the solid Earth. After completing this module, students will be able to:
Analyse the interaction between climate change and the solid Earths surface, with particular attention to the timescales involved.
Explain the origin of present-day morphodynamic features by integrating geological and geospatial data.
Analyse climate simulations for the purpose of understanding the driving physical processes.
Analyse source-to-sink sedimentary systems and records in relation to tectonics and climate amongst other parameters.
Extract geophysical parameters from geospatial data.
