项目介绍
This MPhil offers a 10-month programme of advanced study and research into the natural and anthropogenic causes of past, present and future climate variability. The course is intended for students with a strong first degree in in Physical Geography, Earth Science or related fields. The curriculum will: enable students to acquire a critical and well-informed understanding of the accepted and contested academic understanding of climate change through Earth's history; provide a comprehensive background of climate variability on different time scales, in order to reconcile climate model simulations from a quantitative perspective; give students the opportunity to acquire advanced subject expertise, and transferable skills, relevant to their research interests and career goals; equip students for dealing with complex social, political and scientific issues, in the presence of incomplete data, and communicate their positions to specialist and non-specialist audiences; provide the prerequisite exposure and familiarity with the many physical tools and techniques used in climate science and palaeoclimatology to prepare students for either pursuit of a Doctoral degree or professional position.
