E-science labs including GIS, remote sensing and geo-ecological modelling, soil- and environmental chemistry and erosion labs
One of the courses includes 3-4 weeks of fieldwork, in mountain or lowland settings in South America or Europe
You combine earth sciences with related fields in ecology, hydrology, environmental chemistry and human impact studies to understand their complex interaction
You’ll study and work in a small, international environment, with an informal atmosphere and short lines of communication
Earth Sciences will suit you, if you...
- Want to be involved in identifying solutions for, among others, climate change, land degradation, water, soil and air contamination.
- Are eager to help manage land and water systems to safeguard our environment against hazards.
- Want to help conserve ecosystems, assess the environmental impact of infrastructural projects.
