Mathematics with Ocean and Climate Sciences Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)
Course Overview - Mathematics with Ocean and Climate Sciences Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)
Predicting climate and climate change is a major challenge facing the scientific community.\
The oceans regulate the climate of the planet through storing and transporting heat as well as modifying properties of the overlying atmosphere. Complex issues such as climate change and sea level rise can only be understood if the role of the ocean and atmosphere is fully appreciated.\
This degree provides an understanding of how the ocean and atmosphere operate in the climate system, as well as offering a strong grounding in mathematics.\
