If you’re interested in becoming part of the global network of professionals who predict and prepare for geological and environmental hazards such as earthquakes or volcanic activity, this Geological and Environmental Hazards Master’s course will give you the technical skills, training and fieldwork experience you’ll need.
The course focuses on the physical processes that take place in the Earth that cause geological hazards. You’ll be trained by experts in hazard identification, terrain evaluation, hazard modelling and risk assessment techniques. You’ll learn how to manage – and mitigate – the impact of floods, earthquakes, landslides, volcanoes and coastal erosion.
You’ll use our geotechnics and rock mechanics labs to analyse and charactorise geological materials. You’ll use spatial analysis tools, simulation software and data analysis to assess the risks of natural hazards. And, you’ll design and implement an advanced research project, and produce a detailed report.
