Geoscience Courses for Professional Career Development
The diverse geology, which ranges from the Permo-Triassic to Quaternary, represents more than 200 million years of geological time and many different ancient environments that ranged from arid deserts to subtropical seas. The international importance of the geology and geomorphology of the region was recognised in 2001, with the award of World Heritage status to the 95 miles of coast between Exmouth in south-east Devon, and Studland in south Dorset.
