Master of Science in
Environmental Geology and Geohazards, University of Oslo
Increasing human interaction with nature
and extensive exploitation of natural resources lead to environmental
conflicts and may cause severe enviromental contamination and
deterioration. The Department of Geosciences has a broad research
profile in groundwater flow, contaminant transport and remediation,
based on laboratory and field experiments as well as on computer
simulations. In the area of geohazards, the Department, together wth ICG,
offer courses and thesis research opportunities related to landslides
and debris flows, underwater slides, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis and
hazard and risk assessment. Extensive international cooperation makes it
possible to analyse case studies and mitigation measures from all parts
of the world. In developing countries the occurrence of natural
disasters is a main obstacle to progress and the raising of living
standard.
