Welcome to the School of Earth Sciences!

Earth Sciences applies all the sciences to understanding how our planet works. You, our future Earth Scientists, will address key challenges facing our society from climate change to the need for metals for a sustainable future. I hope you find your time in Bristol inspiring and intellectually challenging. I look forward to meeting lots of new students during Welcome Week then in discussion groups and classrooms throughout your degree with us at Bristol.
