"Measuring is essential to characterize and explain processes in the Earth system, and a first step to assess, model and predict\nnatural processes and human activities in and their impact on the Earth system. Electromagnetic, seismic and gravity potential-\nfield observations inform us about a wide range of phenomena in the ocean, atmosphere, land surface, cryosphere and sub-\nsurface. The measurements can be acquired from spaceborne, airborne, surface and sub-surface-based sensors.\nThis programme core module aims to enable students i) to explain and apply the physical principles underlying the\nmeasurements, and ii) to assess what type of measurement could be used best to determine certain geophysical variables. For\nexample, students will learn how electromagnetic theory allows to use the intensity of radar echoes to yield information about\nrain rate, soil moisture, ocean roughness, or the layering of the subsurface. Similarly, they will learn how potential field theory\ncan be applied to quantify mass changes of, e.g., the ice sheets. Students will be able to weigh the advantages and disadvantages\nof, for example, microwave versus visible and near-infrared observations for monitoring the Earth surface, and seismic and\nelectromagnetic imaging in mapping the subsurface" . .

"Presential"@en . "The master Applied Earth Sciences (AES) is a two-year MSc programme. In the first year, you build core competencies through the AES programme core and faculty module on Modelling, Uncertainty and Data for Engineers (MUDE). You also choose your discipline, gaining specialised knowledge in a particular field. Finally, you gain hands on experience by applying the knowledge you are learning in case studies and in the field.\n\nIn the second year, you have even more choice. You choose between in-depth or free electives, a multi- or interdisciplinary project in the Netherlands or abroad, and cross-over modules. This prepares you to make a well-informed decision for a master’s thesis research topic."@en . . "2"@en . "FALSE" . . "Master"@en . "Thesis" . "2314.00" . "Euro"@en . "20560.00" . "Recommended" .
