Geomatics for Mineral Resource Management (MGMRM)

Master

Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg Freiberg · Saxony

About the Program

Geomatics is an interdisciplinary field of research that combines aspects of surveying and sensor technology with data processing, geoinformatics and geomodelling. The main focus of Geomatics for Mineral Resource Management lies on the regulation and control of the interplay between resource extraction and its environmental impact. Having excellently trained experts in the field of Geomatics is more important now than ever. The reason for this is the continuously rising global demand for raw materials, which leads to the extraction of mineral resources in areas of the geosphere that are more difficult to access. Simultaneously, the highest standards of safety, as well as environmental and social regulations, need to be complied with, and the optimal use of natural resources by maximising recovery is desired. This requires engineers to be able to develop new, innovative solutions and to make the best use of the most modern technology to acquire, manage and analyse geodata. The European course on Geomatics for Mineral Resource Management aims to develop future leaders and innovators in this field. The educational content focuses on these pillars: Geo-Data Acquisition Geo-Data Management and Visualisation Geo-Data Analysis and Modelling
