Profile
Learn about the interdependency of Earth Systems and gain advanced skills in specific areas within Earth Sciences. Explore climate change from the perspectives of Earth processes occurring in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, lithosphere and biosphere. Find a balance between using and preserving Earth’s resources and reducing the environmental impact for a healthy sustainable future. The Master Programme in Earth Science at Uppsala University gives you the breadth and depth of Earth Science.The Department of Earth Sciences at Uppsala University is one of the most comprehensive academic departments of its kind in Europe. Research in Earth Science focuses on subjects that range from the Earth’s core to the atmosphere, on scales from sub-microscopic minerals and fossils to the formation of mountains and oceans, and in time from the formation of the Earth to the processes currently reshaping the planet.Research activities at the department encompass air and water sciences and physical geography, palaeobiology, mineralogy, petrology and tectonics, geophysics, natural resources and sustainable development. Interaction between these research groups leads to dynamic interdisciplinary research in climate, development of life, natural hazards, natural resources, energy and sustainable development.Applied research in earth science is directed towards questions of importance for our civilisation including mineral resources, climate change, clean water supplies and carbon dioxide storage, which are all fundamental in the perspectives of sustainable development and world economy.ABOUT THE PROGRAMMEThe combination of breadth and depth is a distinguishing feature of our Master Programme in Earth Science. This reflects the scientific profile of the department, which focuses on research into climate, development of life, natural hazards, natural resources, energy and sustainable development.The specialisation in physical geography has a strong focus on climate and landscape development in different environments, including glaciology and climate development. The specialisation begins with coursework in climate variations and statistics as a basis for later courses in geomorphology, glacial processes, and field methods. Research in physical geography at the department is oriented to glacial processes and the relationships between glaciers and climate, as well as research in palaeoclimates and landscape development. As a physical geographer, there are many career opportunities in, for example, environmental management, city planning, and research.
