About the Program

Geosciences play a central role in addressing important global issues, such as the exploration, development and use of Earth's surface and natural resources (water, soil, energy resources, metal ores, rocks and earth) under rising pressure from a growing population. Further tasks are the assessment of georisks, the development of new materials and procedures, especially in the fields of energy efficiency and environmental protection, climate change. The results of these efforts have implications for physical, geochemical, ecological and economic processes of the Earth's surface. In the last few decades, researchers in Geosciences have utilised modern techniques that incorporate physical and chemical methods together with a strong theoretical element based on mathematical-physical models. This includes the analysis and modelling of processes taking place at Earth's surface and interior on different temporal and spatial scales. Geosciences aim at finding socially relevant answers to the scientific issues named above and to teach state-of-the-art methods.
