EARTHSCI 105G
: Natural Hazards in New Zealand2021 Semester Two (1215)
New Zealanders are exposed to extreme natural events and processes including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, weather bombs, storm surge, tsunami, flooding, landslides and erosion. The physical context for each hazard is provided, drawing on the disciplines of geology, geomorphology and climatology. The frequency and magnitude of natural hazards for New Zealand are considered using different sources. Impacts on modern society are discussed using case studies and scenario modelling.

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.
