Earth and Climate Dynamics - First Cycle Degree

Class: LM-79 Geophysics	Duration: 2 years
Branch: Padova	Language: English
Programme Coordinator: Prof. Giorgio Cassiani	Access: open access with admission requirements

___________________________________________________

A newly activated course in English, aiming to train professionals in the theory and applications of physical methodologies for the exploration and characterization of the subsoil with a multidisciplinary approach. The aim of the course extends to multiple areas, focusing on study of the soil and subsoil: from the search for mining and energy geo-resources, to the characterization of the subsoil for renewable energies, to the application of non-invasive techniques to civil and environmental engineering up to geological description linked to hydrogeological and seismic risk. You can take on roles of responsibility in the energy industry, both fossil and renewable, or work as a freelancer in the area of protection and management of the territory, as in the drafting and management of safety and emergency plans.
