Earth, Climate and Technology ( formerly Applied Earth Sciences)

The world population is growing & so is our need for clean forms of energy & critical raw materials for solar panels, electronic devices, & windmills. We also need to understand how climate change & other processes impacts our environment, the earth & climate system, & thus our daily lives & those of future generations. Do you aspire to be an engineer that helps move society toward a sustainable future?

The programme has 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: The subsurface has the potential to help with the energy transition & our need for critical raw materials for every day technologies. Learn how geological processes shape the subsurface & develop engineering skills to design safe, efficient, & sustainable solutions for geothermal energy, CO₂ and hydrogen storage, & responsible resource extraction

* We've changed our name to Earth, Climate & Technology. Since the official name change is a lengthy process, you'll currently find us listed on Studielink under ‘Applied Earth Sciences’.
