EARTHSCI 105
: Earth’s Natural Hazards2024 Summer School (1240)
New Zealand experiences many natural hazards caused by the Earth’s natural processes through earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, weather bombs, storm surge, tsunami, flooding and wildfires. Focuses on spatial and temporal occurrences of disasters, hazard preparedness and recovery, and societal responses that affect and, sometimes, compound the magnitude of disasters. Case studies are drawn from contemporary and ancient societies.

EARTHSCI 202
: 4.5 Billion Years of Earth and its Life2025 Semester Two (1255)
Earth’s surface is dynamic, constantly interacting with the oceans and atmosphere while recycling its rocks. Rocks contain Earth’s physical and biologic history, recording life-changing events such as mass extinctions and global glaciations. Through the introduction of multidisciplinary techniques, the course explores how rocks are used to reveal Earth’s long history, and how they help give a glimpse into its future.

EARTHSCI 203
: Earth’s Resources and Future2025 Semester One (1253)
Humans depend on Earth’s mineral and energy resources, but they are finite and their use creates environmental wastes. The course focuses on mineral and rock formation, and how they can be interpreted to understand the natural processes operating in the Earth System. Examines the expanding and changing use of resources and the need for stewardship of Earth for our future.
