The Geoscientific Method

The course examines the historical and philosophical underpinnings of geosciences.

We use a historical framework to explore the components and the evolution of modern scientific method. We want to understand how scientific hypotheses are formulated and tested and how scientific data are reviewed, interpreted and presented. The goal is to think about thinking in order to organize, be aware of and challenge our own methodologies of science and analysis.

Please order the book now if you are planning to take the course.
