"In this module, students will first be introduced to the Earth System and human interventions in the Earth System, including the\nexploitation of natural resources and greenhouse-gas emissions that caused climate change, and the societal challenge of moving\ntowards a carbon-neutral world. Through three narratives, students will study through which processes and on what temporal and\nspatial scales the different Earth system components interact.\nThe first story line is named Solid Earth & Resources and looks at the deep level dynamic processes that make the Earth a unique\nbody in the solar system. These processes will be outlined in terms of the plate tectonic theory which provides a unified\nframework for the evolution of the solid Earth. We will examine how these processes have evolved through time and how they\nhave been responsible for the distribution of the continents and the formation of mountain belts, volcanoes and the evolution of\nour natural resources.\nThe second story line is named the Climate System, in which students will gain a basic understanding of the Earths energy\nbudget and the natural and anthropogenic influences on past (paleo-)climates and our current and future climate. They will be\nfamiliarized with the carbon cycle and study the role of the global atmospheric and oceanic circulation in setting climate zones\nand weather.\nThe third story line is named Source to Sink and starts at mountains and follows the pathway of water and sediment towards the\nriver, delta and coastal-oceanic basins. Along the way we will investigate formation of sediment, the water cycle, formation of\nstratigraphy, vegetation and land use changes, and how all this is affected by the past and current climate and weather.\nFinally, students will appraise and reflect on the societal and ethical implications of past or future human interventions related to\nresources and the climate of the Earth System. After completing this module, students will be able to:\nAnalyse the different components of the Earth system and the processes and time and spatial scales on which the different\ncomponents of the Earth system interact. \nExamine the processes that generate and deplete the availability of natural resources.\nDistinguish the processes that play a role in the Earth's energy (im)balance and calculate their impact on climate. \nIdentify the processes that underlie impacts of anthropogenic activities on the Earth System. \nReflect on social and ethical implications of human interventions in the Earth System." . .

"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" .
