Fluid layers in planets are ubiquitous, either in the form of metallic cores, oceans or atmospheres. In this class we will go through the fundamentals of rotating and stratified fluids in a geophysical context, it includes convection and heat transfer, surface and internal waves, inertial rotating waves and modes and their stability.

This course sensitises doctoral students to ethical issues that may occur during their doctorate. After an introduction to ethics and good scientific practice, students are familiarised with resources that can assist them with ethical decision-making. Students get the chance to apply their knowledge in a discipline specific context.

The course is self taught and covers the following topics of fundamentals in geophysics:-Seismology- Tomography- Gravimetry- Geodesy- Paleomagnetism

The course is self taught and covers the following topics of fundamentals in geophysics:- Mantle dynamics- Plate tectonics- Core dynamics- Earth's magnetic field- Earth's rotation
