MATH2049 2028-29
Geometry and Topology
Geometry has grown out of efforts to understand the world around us, and has been a central part of mathematics from the ancient times to the present. Topology has been designed to describe, quantify, and compare shapes of complex objects. Together, geometry and topology provide a very powerful set of mathematical tools that is of great importance in mathematics and its applications.
This module will introduce the students to the mathematical foundation of modern geometry based on the notion of distance. We will study metric spaces and their transformations. Through examples, we will demonstrate how a choice of distance determines shapes, and will discuss the main types of geometries. An important part of the course will be the study of continuous maps of spaces. A proper context for the general discussion of continuity is the topological space, and the students will be guided through the foundations of topology. Geometry and topology are actively researched by mathematicians and we shall indicate the most exciting areas for further study.
One of the pre-requisites for MATH3076, MATH3080, MATH3086, MATH6079, MATH6094, MATH6095, MATH6137 and MATH6138 -

SOES3021 2027-28
Geophysical Field Methods
This field course is designed to simulate the methods you would conduct on a daily basis as a geoscientist working in environmental geophysical consultancy/site investigation. You will receive hands-on training using a range of different geophysical instruments, which are widely used in industry, and the course has been developed with direct guidance from industry partners. The techniques you will employ are vital for monitoring and characterising the environment and ensuring the sustainability of infrastructure projects.
The applications of the surveys you will conduct include but are not limited to detection of underground voids such as buried mine workings and limestone karsts; characterisation of ground suitability for emplacement of infrastructure such as onshore wind turbines; detection of buried utility services; monitoring leachate from landfill sites; characterise the internal structure of geomorphological structures such as sand dunes; and mapping archaeological sites. -

CENV3020 2026-27
Geotechnical Engineering
This module will introduce you to the analyses often used in the design of gravity, embedded and reinforced soil retaining walls, simple shallow and pile foundations, the assessment of slope stability and slope stabilisation schemes. It will build on the basic concepts of soil mechanics introduced in the second year module CENV2006, and provide a basis for geotechnical design within CENV3015 Design 3.
