Study Track - Geophysical Data and Simulation
The Geophysical Data and Simulation study track forms part of the Geophysics specialisation. You can also design your own study track by choosing elective or restricted elective courses other than the ones proposed here.
Earth and climate system data are collected from air, space and from modern automated instruments. They reveal dynamical processes, and the interior structure of the planet and its atmosphere and ocean.
In the geophysical data and simulations study track you will focus on the skills needed to analyse the enormous amounts of modern geophysical data and to simulate the Earth system processes.
In the table below, you can find the elective and restricted elective subjects which we propose you take to focus your specialisation on Geophysical Data and Simulation:
| Block 1 | Block 2 | Block 3 | Block 4 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | Earth and Climate Physics | Inverse Problems | Continuum Mechanics | Advanced Computational Geophysics |
| High Performance Parallel Computing* | ||||
| Year 2 | Thesis | |||
One block each year equals nine weeks of study and 15 ECTS.
* This course can be chosen as elective. You may choose up to two elective courses (15 ECTS).
