. "Master's excursion earth surface and water"@en . . "7.5" . "Course goals\n \nTo recognise and reflect upon topical scientific and societal issues in the field of Earth Surface and Water (i.e Physical Geography and related fields) and to be able to put these issues in the context of the landscape. Special emphasis will be given to (1) Landscape evolution (2) morphodynamic processes in coastal, estuarine, and riverine environments (3) hydrology, water management, river restoration, flood protection; (4) climate driven and manmade vegetation change and ecosystem dynamics in north-western Europe.\n \nContent\nMaximum capacity: 40 students. ESW students have priority. \nPlease note: Students are only allowed one MSc fieldwork / excursion (GEO4-1424a; 1430; 1431; 4418) during their MSc training. \n Placing ongoing fundamental research and societal issues into the context of the landscape, focussing on the fields of geomorphology, hydrology, and palaeoecology. \n Demonstration of scientific and societally relevant problems related to the field sites. \n Theoretical context based on the international scientific literature.\nDevelopment of transferable skills\n\nAbility to work in a team: Participants are expected to take responsibility for a smooth execution of the excursion, both logistically and content-wise.\nVerbal communication skills: Participants will give a scientific presentation about a topic related to the excursion programme. Participants are expected to actively take part in discussions.\nProblem-solving skills: In the field, teams often have to define a strategy for fulfilling the assigned tasks, including the identification of sampling sites and performing the sampling.\nFlexibility/adaptability: Depending on for example weather conditions, the excursion programme need to be adjusted.\nTechnical skills: Participants are introduced to a variety of methods and techniques in fundamental or applied research and the application of these methods will be demonstrated." . .

"Topics you will study during this two-year programme include amongst others the origin and evolution of life, major transitions in earth’s history, dynamics of sedimentary systems, carbon sources and sinks, biogeochemical and geochemical cycles, climate change and its impact on natural environments such as glaciers, ice sheets, lakes, groundwater, wetlands, estuaries, and oceans. You will learn state-of-the-art reconstruction methods, modelling techniques, and laboratory experiments that has been developed and applied in a wide range of earth and beta science disciplines, such as biogeology, palaeontology, palynology, sedimentology, stratigraphy, environmental geochemistry, organic geochemistry, hydrology, physical geography, geology, biology, climate dynamics, marine sciences and palaeoceanography. You will utilise these skills in your own research project or internship in preparation for an international career in applied or fundamental research."@en . . . . . "2"@en . "FALSE" . .
