Geoecology

Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)

About the Program

Geoecology is an interdisciplinary field of research that deals with the interactions between geological, biological and anthropogenic systems. It investigates how natural and human processes influence the earth's surface and its ecosystems. Both the spatial and temporal dimensions of ecological phenomena are considered. The aim of geoecology is to develop sustainable strategies for the use and protection of natural resources (clean water and healthy soil) for a healthy environment. Particular attention is paid to the conservation of biodiversity and the analysis of environmental changes in the context of global environmental change. In practice, geoecological research involves recording ecosystem processes by applying methods from various disciplines, including geoinformatics, remote sensing and modeling, in the field, in the laboratory or on a PC. The 6-semester Bachelor's degree course in geoecology qualifies students for a career in the areas of environment, sustainable land use and ecosystem management.
