Enjoyed this a lot and learnt a lot. Many thanks to the lecturers and team who produced it, clearly much thought and effort went into putting the materials together: exemplary on-line learning!

I found this course highly fascinating as it built up my knowledge on some aspects such as the layers of the earth but it introduced me to knew information like the explanation of how mountains can affect the atmospheric temperatures and the different temperatures of the atmosphere as you move away from the surface of the earth. It has left me becoming intrigued in some new areas of geography which i would like to learn more about in greater depth and it has demonstrated how different climatic conditions can be linked together and interrelated. i will most likely go away and find some documentaries to follow up on this course in the aspects i found most interesting.

From this course, i have learned Earth system science is the study has more scientific data stemming from various fields of research, such as the atmosphere, oceans, land ice and others, fit together to form the current picture of our planet as a whole, including its changing climate.

Thank you Professor's.

Awesome course! it was definitely a whirlwind of information, but the team at Manchester University really put together a great set of stories to whet the appetite and lay down a foundation of knowledge needed to understand these holistic-type processes.

Excellent course. Clear and well structured. Packed full of fascinating information. Given me a new eye for the world around me, a much deeper understanding, and motivation to learn more. My son was interested in studying Earth Science at University and completing this course together has enabled him to move forward with confidence to apply for a full Geology degree.

Excelent chance to understand how different spheres in the earth system deeply connect and interact with each other. Variables that slighlty change in one system can have a major impact in other orthers of the earth climate.

My BA 45 years ago is major in Geography and Geology. I am very happy to re-visit many of the topics with the new discoveries and theories and presentation of them in modern technology.

I really enjoyed the journey prof Schultz and other lecturers took me on. Even though I already had some geographical knowledge, I did learn a lot and I feel more confident about teaching about climate change and the different aspects of it. The course was presented in a way I didn't feel pressurised to understand every little detail but rather to learn what I needed, building upon what I already knew. I enjoyed the Build Your Own Earth modelling and might use it to work with secondary school students to learn about climate. Thanks for a great course!

Our Earth was among the two best courses I made on Coursera. I find it highly recommendable. I found the student book highly valuable, as it allowed me to also read the presented material in advance, which made it much easier for me to follow the videos.

I'm a student from Taiwan who is interested in environmental issues and wants to make human society a more sustainable place. I think this course helped me a lot with the basic knowledge of how the earth functioned, this enabled me to have a broader perspective of how a small activity may influence the big system, and let me think in a deeper way. The other thing I love about this course is the lecturers always explained how the data was collected or why a thing happened. Because I'm a person who likes to dig deep into the essence of a problem, this teaching way always gave me the answer to what I'm curious about right at the moment.

I recently completed the 'Our Earth: Its Climate, History, and Processes' course on Coursera and found it to be an incredibly enriching experience. The content was well-organized, covering a wide range of topics from climate dynamics to geological processes. The instructors presented the material in a clear and engaging manner, making complex concepts accessible to learners of various backgrounds. The interactive elements, quizzes, and assignments were effective in reinforcing key learnings. Overall, I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of our planet's intricate systems and processes.

I've quite enjoyed this course! This Senior Citizen has been able to review and update facts and concepts studied long ago, as well as get a nice introduction into climate modeling through the Build Your Own Earth component. I could have readily gone through this material in more detail over a longer (12 week?) program of prescribed study. Thanks, University of Manchester. And thanks, Coursera!

I found this course absolutely fascinating. Were I 50 years' younger, I would definitely be considering a degree course along these lines. Most impressed by Professor Schultz - such awesome knowledge and he managed to convey concepts in language which the lay person can understand but without any hint of condescension. Excellent.

Good overview on the topic. Due to the high number of complex areas mentioned in the course none of the topics is covered in depth. However on most of the topics there good deep dives on coursera, so this is a great start and to understand where to intensify studies. The lecture in itself is well-presented.

Soy estudiante de Ingeniería Ambiental , muchos de estos tópicos los vi con anterioridad y aún así es realmente increíble lo que aprendí con este curso. Lo recomiendo, los profesores son excelentes y te da una perspectiva mucho más integral de la interración de los procesos de la Tierra y su historia.
