- As a Master’s student of Earth Sciences, students will study the natural processes and cycles of the Earth’s system within and between rock, soil, water, living things, and air. Students will quantify the magnitude and rate of these processes in both spaces and in time. Students will look at the influence of humanity on the Earth’s Systems to address questions such as: What can past and present elemental fluxes tell us about the future? How can they use earth system knowledge to effectively address global challenges such as climate change?
- In this two-year program students will get to choose one of the three specializations:
- Geology and Geochemistry
- Earth and Climate
- Global Environmental Change and Policy
- Students will study the key interactions within the Earth System in all its complexity. Understanding this complexity is not only fascinating in itself – it provides the knowledge and skills students need to address the complex challenges faced by our planet today.
- Within our three specializations students will deepen and broaden your knowledge of the Earth's interior and exterior to become a professional with expert knowledge about our planet’s processes, problems, and perspectives.
