The essay for GEOS1001
• Due Thursday 14th April, 23:59pm (i.e., one minute to midnight before the
Friday)
• You choose one out of the four options. (In previous years, some students
submitted four essays. Please don’t do this.)
• 2,000 words including references (essays that exceed the word limit by
>10% may be penalized 10 percentage points)
• We apply common sense before handing out any penalties. For example, you may
exceed a word count is because you include a Table, and the software
inadvertently counts numbers in the table as “words”.
• Essays submitted late incur a five percentage points penalty per day of
lateness. After ten calendar days late, a mark of zero will be awarded.
• Note that the online submission process time-stamps all submissions. The
due time is 23:59 and even one minute late may incur a penalty. Leave
yourself time in case of upload delays, frozen computer screens, etc
• Students enrolled in GEOS1901 (Earth, Environment & Society (Advanced))
do not submit this essay. Those students submit a different essay later in
the semester (15 May).
• If you have been affected by illness or misadventure in the period leading
up to the due date for the essay, you may apply for Special Consideration.
• Sometimes students may apply for Special Consideration but the determination has
not been approved before the due date of the essay, and hence they don’t know
whether they have an extension or not. If you’re in this situation, communicate with
us (using geos.1001@sydney.edu.au).
• And remember, your health is important. If in this situation, manage your health and
stress as best you can.
• Students registered with Disability Services may have alternative
arrangements for completing and submitting essays. These are managed
on a case-by-case basis.
The essay for GEOS1001
Essay option 1
Extraordinary efforts have been required to get global commitments to address climate change. However, these
international agreements have been fairly modest in terms of their goals, and are attempting to mitigate the worst effects
of anthropogenic climate change rather than addressing the problem in its entirety. Even temporary “global warming
overshoots” have the potential to trigger irreversible tipping points in major Earth (life support) systems.
Write an essay that discusses the relationship between the global warming overshoots and possible tipping points. Given
the slow pace of reductions in global greenhouse gas emissions (and in some places resumption of previously-
decommissioned coal fired power plants), explore the potential role of geological storage of carbon dioxide and hydrogen
in helping us navigate the “rocky road” to net zero emissions by 2050.
Your essay must reference the following citations:

Essay option 2
There is often a focus on the negative impacts of climate change, but what are the opportunities impacting on the
ability to provide food as well as for soil to perform other functions, e.g. store carbon, support biodiversity, etc.
What are some of the management options that can take advantage of the opportunities you have described.
Please use case studies, local or international, to illustrate your reasoning.

Essay option 3
Question: The surface geomorphology of Earth is incredibly diverse, and depends on interacting factors like age, chemistry,
and weathering. Using photographs taken by you of landforms or weathering features from a part/ several parts of Sydney
or its surrounds, write an essay that discusses how geochemistry and weathering intersect to shape the physical
environment of a select site or several sites in Sydney. You may include up to 10 photographs.
You must cite at least three of the following references. We recommend you choose at least one of the introductory
geomorphology references* and then other papers relevant to your site/s geological setting. Relevant papers will go
beyond this list, so please research widely!
(list available on Canvas)
Essay option 4
In his recent book on climate change, geographer Mike Hulme writes: “climate change is not a problem that
can be solved” (Hulme 2022: xxix). What does he mean by this?
Your essay must reference the following sources:
• Hulme, M. (2022) Climate Change, Routledge: London and New York.
• Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (2023) Climate Change 2023: AR6 Synthesis Report – Summary for
Policymakers, available at https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/syr/downloads/report/IPCC_AR6_SYR_SPM.pdf
GEOS1001 Essay
When choosing a topic, be sure to read over the 2.3 Challenge page on Canvas as
the lecturers have provided extra insights on each of the topics. Additionally the
1.3 Challenge page has several videos that are very useful when researching for
and writing an essay.
The essay for GEOS1001
• What is an essay? An essay is a written piece of work that conveys an
argument about a topic.
• To convey an argument doesn’t mean you have to say “I think this…”
• It means you develop an ordered way of responding to a question or statement.
• For example, if you had an essay that asked: “What is the evidence for
anthropogenic forcing of climate change?” you would not start with
something like: “I believe climate change is real”.
• A better way to state may be to write: “There is extensive evidence for
anthropogenic forcing of climate change. This essay will identify and
describe four of the major sources of data that scientists use to confirm the
existence of this process.”
• The statement above is an argument. You are clearly spelling out an
ordered response to the question.
The essay
• You should have a clearly identifiable:
• Title (not mandatory but recommended)
• Introduction
• Series of body paragraphs
• Conclusion
• Bibliography/ List of References
• You may use subheadings (optional)
• You may include Tables and Figures. If you are pasting these from another source
(which is fine!) you must add the citation indicating where they were published.
You must cross-reference any Tables or Figures to your text. (A Table or Figure
without a cross-reference is like a petrol pump in the middle of an empty field. It
has no purpose)
• Your essay must be submitted in Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) format
Referencing
• Each of the essay questions contains mandatory references
• Failure to cite these references will incur a penalty of ten percentage points.
• The reason for the mandatory references is to provide individual guidance to students, and
consistency across the class in terms of how the question is being answered.
• If you use only the mandated references, you have complied. But if you are seeking a higher
grade than a potential 50% PASS, you should seek additional sources and cite them in your essay.
• In your Bibliography/ List of References (the two terms are interchangeable), include only those
references you have cited in your text.
• How to cite? We do not mandate a specific style but prefer the Harvard style. There is a video in
the week 1 Challenge that explains referencing. Whatever style you use, you need to be
consistent throughout your essay.
• All in-text citations need to include the author and the date of publication.
• If there are more than two authors, you can write the name of the first author and then add “et al”
(which is Latin for “and others”)
• If you are sourcing material from a website and the date is unclear, you can write “n.d.” (not dated)
• Due Thursday 14th April, 23:59pm (i.e., one minute to midnight before the
Friday)
• You choose one out of the four options. (In previous years, some students
submitted four essays. Please don’t do this.)
• 2,000 words including references (essays that exceed the word limit by
