Applied Earth Sciences

The world population is growing and so is our need for clean forms of energy, such as geothermal heat, and critical raw materials for solar panels, electronic devices, and windmills. We need to understand how climate change and other processes impacts our environment, the earth & climate system, and thus our daily lives and those of future generations.
Do you aspire to be an engineer that helps move society toward a sustainable future? Then the MSc programme Earth, Climate and Technology at TU Delft is the right programme for you.
The programme has been divided into 4 disciplines:


Climate & Weather: modelling and predicting atmospheric and climate dynamics.

Earth Observation: advanced remote sensing techniques, geo-data analytics, geohazard and climate change monitoring and prediction.

Geo-Energy: geothermal energy, underground storage of CO2 & H2, hydrocarbon engineering.

Geo-Resources: critical raw material modelling, zero waste extraction techniques.
During the programme you develop in-depth knowledge in one of these disciplines and get acquainted with the other disciplines as well.
