Earth Sciences: Earth System Science (track)
Are you interested in the functioning of the Earth System across diverse spatial and temporal scales, from global to local and from millions of years to the present? In the Earth System Science track you will investigate the interplay between earth surface processes, such as erosion, river dynamics, and ecosystems. You also will have the opportunity to explore the impact of human activities, including mining, deforestation, and the effects of nature-based solutions.
