Environmental Geoscience

About this course

Environmental geoscience sits at the intersection of the physical sciences and the pressing ecological challenges of our time. It draws on geology, hydrology, atmospheric science, and ecology to understand how the Earth's systems operate and how human activity disrupts them. The discipline is concerned with everything from soil contamination and groundwater pollution to coastal erosion, climate change impacts, and the management of natural hazards. Studying it means developing the analytical habits of a scientist alongside the practical awareness of someone who must translate findings into real-world action. On this part-time programme at Birkbeck College, you will explore how rocks, soils, water, and the atmosphere interact over geological and human timescales. You will investigate how pollutants move through landscapes, how climate shifts alter catchments and coastlines, and how field
