Environmental Sciences

Environmental sciences deal with factors and processes which shape natural landscapes at different scales of space and time. The aim of the program is to provide the students theoretical and quantitative knowledge in Environmental sciences and to conduct independent research in various scientific fields such as soil sciences, biogeochemistry, ecology, geomorphology and others. The program includes courses in climate change, geomorphology, geology, soils, hydrology and ecology. Studies at the field sites and in the department labs are integral part of the program. Integrations with remote sensing and GIS tools are encouraged. A focus is given to the understanding of the impact of environmental changes (natural or anthropogenic) on landscape development.
