Enhance your expertise in mathematics, physics, computer science, and earth sciences to explore Earth's structure and atmospheric processes. Offered by the School of Geography, Environment and Earth Sciences, Victoria's Geophysics program focuses on two key disciplines—Solid Earth Geophysics and Meteorology. Meteorology courses are taught in collaboration with MetService professionals. Collaborate with Dr. Jim McGregor and Professor James Renwick to investigate worldwide and local climate patterns, along with rainfall prediction using international and regional weather models. Pursue meteorology studies at New Zealand's sole university providing specialized qualifications in this field. Solid Earth Geophysics investigates the physical mechanisms of earthquakes, volcanic activity, planetary deformation, and geothermal phenomena. You'll analyze Earth's composition and movement through seismic, geodetic, electromagnetic, and gravitational data, connecting these findings to plate tectonic theory.
