This is about understanding the Earth's systems interactions and complexities. The University of Edinburgh can explore everything from liquid metal in the Earth's core to moving continents on the Earth surface. The University study the composition of the deep Earth to the rapidly changing composition of the Earth's atmosphere.

University can use geophysics to monitor the processes that result in catastrophic events. For example, earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions.

The University of Edinburgh use a process called remote sensing to gather vast amounts of data. University often obtain this data through satellites, aircraft and drones. they can collect data from the edges of space to the very center of the Earth to understand, model and predict how the Earth behaves.
