Access some of our taster lecture recordings to see what it's like to study with us. Geography Taster Lectures Geomorphology of MarsDr Anthony Newton discuss the Geomorphology of Mars, a lecture featured on the BSc Geography programme, including the Geomorphology course. Please note that this taster lecture was recorded at a previous event, therefore, it is not interactive. Vikings in GreenlandProfessor Andrew Dugmore's taster lecture give you an insight into how BSc Geography students can connect the science of environments with people and policy. Earth Sciences and Environment Taster Lectures Natural Hazards: Weather and Climate-related HazardsNatural hazards such as heatwaves and floods arise because the Earth’s climate is naturally variable. But as human-induced climate change accelerates, hazard likelihoods are rapidly changing, with major implications for society. Understanding the fundamental science behind climate variability and change is crucial for understanding how such hazards are evolving. This lecture, delivered by Professor David Stevenson, introduces the topic. Scotland's Jurassic Park: The Isle of Skye and New Fossil DiscoveriesDid you know Scotland was home to dinosaurs?Professor Steve Brusatte, Professor of Palaeontology and Evolution, explores his research and fossil discoveries on the Isle of Skye. Ecological and Environmental Taster Lectures Principles of Ecology: Forest Ecosystems In a Changing WorldThis taster lecture, presented by Dr Claudia Colesie, broadly introduces you to fundamental concepts in ecological science, such as the biomes of the Earth and the impact of climate change on these distinct biological communities. Conservation ScienceThis lecture introduces key concepts in conservation science, exploring the global biodiversity crisis, its major drivers, including climate change, habitat loss, pollution, invasive species and exploitation, and the international efforts being developed to address these challenges.
