Earth, Climate and Technology ( formerly Applied Earth Sciences)

Our planet & climate system are changing rapidly. Rising sea levels, melting ice sheets, & more extreme weather are creating complex challenges that require a deeper understanding of Earth’s processes & resources. The energy transition is also increasing the demand for critical raw materials used in technologies like solar panels, wind turbines, & electric cars. In this master's, you’ll use technology to observe, analyse, & predict how our planet & climate are changing, helping you contribute to solutions for a changing world.

Join the programme and choose one of two tracks: 

• Climate & Earth Observation: Monitor, analyse & predict the state of our planet, from sea level rise & storms, to heat waves, flooding, & land subsidence. Gain the skills to tackle challenges such as precise weather forecasting, renewable energy planning, mitigation of geohazards, biodiversity protection, & the monitoring of infrastructure on land and at sea
• Subsurface Energy & Resource Engineering: Learn how geological processes shape the subsurface & develop engineering skills to design safe, efficient, & sustainable solutions for geothermal energy, CO₂ & hydrogen storage, & responsible resource extraction.
