ENVPHYS 200
: Earth Observations and Models2022 Semester Two (1225)
An experiential study of climate and environmental physics. The analysis and modelling of laboratory, field and remote sensing observations to explain the state and behaviour of the atmosphere, oceans and the solid earth. Topics include radiation, cloud and aerosol processes, energy balance, circulations and seismic waves. It develops transferable skills in acquiring measurements, data analytical methods and laboratory techniques.
Prerequisite: 15 points from ENVPHYS 100, PHYSICS 100, 102, 120, 121, 160, EARTHSCI 120 and 15 points from MATHS 108, 110, 120, 130, 199, STATS 101-120

ENVPHYS 399
: Capstone: Environmental Physics2025 Semester Two (1255)
Students will employ core methodologies (experimental, observational, numerical) to investigate some aspect of climate and environmental systems such as key atmospheric, ocean or solid earth geophysical phenomenon. They will relate their findings to contemporary research in the field, considering wider societal aspects and issues. Students will develop their skills in communication, critical thinking, teaching and creative problem solving.
