In this course, students learn crucial partial differential equations (conservation laws) that are applicable to any continuum including the Earth's mantle, core, atmosphere and ocean. The course will provide step-by-step introduction into the mathematical structure, physical meaning and analytical solutions of the equations. The course has a particular focus on solid Earth applications.

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

Self-study course, the contents of which will be defined by consultation with the study advisor.

In this 14-week sequence, students learn how to write programs from scratch to solve partial differential equations that are useful for Earth science applications. Programming will be done in MATLAB and will use the finite-difference method and marker-in-cell technique. The course will emphasise a hands-on learning approach rather than extensive theory.
