Profile
The Master of Science in Geology allows you to benefit from advanced teaching in different specialist fields of geology according to the chosen orientation, namely:-Sedimentary Geology, Environmental Geology, Geology of Reservoirs-Geochemistry, Alpine Tectonics, Ore Deposits-Geological RisksRegardless of which orientation is followed, students receive in-depth training in field work and numerous analytical techniques, as well as in the processing of quantitative data and modelling.The orientation Sedimentary Geology,Environmental Geology and Geology ofReservoirs focuses on the analysis of sedimentary basins through different disciplines (stratigraphy, micropaleontology, seismology, modelling, geochemistry). It introduces you to the science of petrology and the management of natural resources viewed from an environmental perspective.The orientation Geochemistry, Alpine Tectonics, Ore Deposits focuses on thestudy of mountain areas in all their complexity. This includes an in-depth understanding of the processes of petrology, geochemistry and tectonics; the ability to integrate diverse scientific information in the resolution of concrete problems; practical expertise in field work in orogenic areas, and in structural analysis, calculation and modelling methods. The orientation offers a scientific basis for finding and evaluating natural resources (mineral,fluid) while at the same time assessing and attenuating the environmental impact of their exploitation.The orientation Geological Risks offers the chance to specialise in numerous aspects of environmental geology and geological risks, particularly risk management, flood risks, seismic risks, risk of landslips and volcaniceruptions, risk modelling. The orientation provides a scientific grounding in physicochemical processes while at the same time providing the tools needed to assess and attenuate their impact on the environment.
