How can I bridge the gap between IT experience and a PhD in Earth Science?

How did you find PF?
Googled what ... + c.c. meant
Hi all. I was impressed with the polite, succint response to a question put to PF about a puzzling term I was seeing in a couple of review papers I was given to read by my potential supervisor.

A bit of background. 40 years in IT including 8 years onsite support for a couple of supercomputers. Started a PhD in Earth Science, but had to withdraw due to work pressures after the onsite work dried up.

Running to get up-to-speed in this new field and hope to decode some of the symbolic differences I have encounted between maths and physics.

Hi everyone, I'm just a physics enthusiast. I took some first-year courses a long time ago, but I wasn't able to continue, so I don't have a degree. Still, I'm really passionate about the subject and try to keep up with it as much as I can. I mostly study in my (limited) free time, going through books I didn’t get the chance to read when I was younger. Thanks for your attention!
