Topic Hub
Earth, Ocean & Climate
Earth as a system: solid earth, oceans, atmosphere, biosphere, climate, and the deep-time history that links them. Includes climate science, atmospheric chemistry, oceanography, tectonics, and biogeography.
7 courses
Tectonics →
Plate tectonics, mantle convection, earthquake mechanics, mountain building, and the deep-time history of the lithosphere.
Climate Science →
Atmospheric radiation, the carbon cycle, climate feedbacks, ocean–atmosphere coupling, paleoclimate proxies, and modelling future climate.
Earth Observation →
Remote sensing, satellite missions, atmospheric retrievals, land-cover classification, and applications to climate and environment monitoring.
Biogeography →
Distribution of life across Earth, island biogeography, dispersal and vicariance, latitudinal gradients, biome dynamics, and conservation.
Biomes →
World biomes from boreal forest and tundra to tropical rainforest, savanna, desert, and marine ecosystems — climate, productivity, and biodiversity.
Climate & Biodiversity →
How climate change reshapes biodiversity: range shifts, phenology mismatches, ocean warming, coral bleaching, and conservation.
Ocean Biodiversity →
Marine biodiversity from coastal to abyssal: kelp forests, coral reefs, deep-sea ecosystems, and the conservation of ocean life.
