Academics

In the Master’s programme Earth Surface and Water you will study the physical and geochemical processes of continental and coastal systems. You will look at natural as well as human-induced patterns. The main subject areas include the dynamics of coastal and river systems, (geo-)hydrological processes, groundwater remediation, land degradation in dry lands and mountainous regions, and delta evolution on centennial and longer time scales. This programme provides you with knowledge that is essential to manage the planet sustainably, to guarantee the availability of resources for future generations, and to understand and avert natural hazards.
