• GECM06 Traethawd Hir Environmental Dynamics and Climate Change

  Mae¿r modiwl hwn yn cynnig cyfle i wneud prosiect ymchwil unigol sylweddol ym maes Deinameg Amgylcheddol a Newid yr Hinsawdd. Darperir cefnogaeth gan oruchwylydd staff a thrwy drafodaethau a arweinir gan fyfyrwyr. Bydd hefyd gyfle i roi adborth adeiladol i fyfyrwyr eraill sy¿n gwneud prosiectau ymchwil cysylltiedig, gan ddysgu gan eu problemau ymchwil a¿u hatebion dilynol nhw. Caiff canlyniadau ymchwil dros dro eu cyflywno ar lafar (ym mis Gorffennaf a mis Awst). Bydd canlyniadau terfynol y traethawd ymchwil yn cael eu cyflwyno ar ffurf papur gwyddonol cyfnodolyn rhyngwladol blaenllaw yn yr un maes ymchwil.

• GEG211 Glacial Environments

  This module provides a comprehensive examination of processes, sediments and landforms associated with glacial activity. It considers aspects of both past (Quaternary) and present-day glacial environments. The module also introduces basic glaciological concepts such as glacier mass balance, transformation of snow to ice, glacier hydrology and glacier thermal regime, and thus provides a foundation for Level 3 module GEG344. The basic glaciological concepts are used to illustrate their implications for ice movement, glacial erosion and glacial deposition, and hence, their role in creating `glacial¿ landscapes. Teaching and Learning will be conducted via a combination of lectures and student-led seminars. The module is assessed through a 1-hour examination (1 from 3 essay questions, 50%), a poster (40%) and an individual oral 3-minute poster pitch/presentation (10%).

• GEGM06 Dissertation Environmental Dynamics and Climate Change

  This module offers the opportunity to undertake a major individual research project in the field of Environmental Dynamics and Climate Change. Support is provided by a staff supervisor and through student-led discussions. There will also be an opportunity to give constructive feedback to other students undertaking related research projects, learning from their research problems and their subsequent solutions. Provisional research results will be communicated verbally (in July and August). The final results of the thesis will be presented as the scientific paper of a leading international journal in the same field of research.

• GEGM07 Environmental Dynamics

  This module aims to explain and understand past, present and potential future changes in the Earth's climate and environment. It provides a broad approach to environmental processes and dynamics operating on land, in the oceans and in the atmosphere on a global and regional scale. Emphasis is placed on the evidence available for reconstructing past environmental dynamics, the implications for present-day processes, future predictions and likely impacts.
