- Students looking to dive deeper into the complex interactions between hydrological processes and their relationship with society, climate, and vegetation, then this is the Master’s program for them.
- Students will come away with the skills, including fieldwork and modeling skills, to understand the processes. And students will develop solutions to address challenges of water quantity, quality, and associated risks, such as floods and droughts.
- Students will look at the issues from an interdisciplinary perspective – balancing both hydrological processes and societal interactions. And of course, students will be using real-world examples. They will conduct their research at permanent hydrological field sites in Luxembourg, Kenya, and Siberia. And, in student's second year, they will be able to choose their own focus area by selecting elective courses.
- International conflicts over water and water rights are becoming more and more common. And water management is one of the key challenges of the near future. During this two-year Master’s program, students will learn to apply field measurements and theory to estimating water risk for society, while exploring management options to reduce risk. The program has a strong international focus, too.
