Everything on Earth and in space has a location. In modern society we use spatial information (i.e., positions), to understand the world and our place in it. The rise of easily-accessible location data via satellite positioning systems has changed the way we live, and significantly influenced how decisions are made at all levels - from the personal, to corporate and government. Satellite...

The objective of this course is to provide a thorough grounding in statistical physics and solid state physics. Statistical physics describes the structure of bulk matter - solids, liquids, gases, plasmas - in terms of very general assumptions about the behaviour of the basic constituents. It has close ties with both kinetic theory and thermodynamics but applies also to quantum systems. The...

You will gain and...

The Southern Ocean may seem far away, but it plays a critical role as a climate change ‘shock absorber’, literally absorbing carbon dioxide that would otherwise worsen climate change right here in Hobart. Utilising the skills in data analysis and understanding of ocean dynamics, this unit provides instruction on the role of the Southern Ocean in the global carbon cycle and its future changes....
