Geology

About this course

Geology is the science of the Earth itself, from the forces that built mountain ranges and shaped ocean floors to the processes that continue to reshape the planet today. It draws on chemistry, physics, and biology to explain phenomena that unfold over timescales ranging from a single earthquake to hundreds of millions of years of continental drift. Understanding geology matters enormously for society, not just for finding the mineral and energy resources that modern economies depend on, but for managing natural hazards, protecting groundwater, and understanding how climate has changed throughout Earth's history. Studying geology at Keele over three years of full-time study, you will develop practical skills alongside theoretical understanding. You will spend time in the field, reading rock sequences and mapping geological structures in the real landscape, as well as working in laborato
