Presentation
The key points of the training are:
- the understanding of the physical and chemical processes controlling the dynamics of the Earth
- projects and internships allowing a personalized acquisition of skills
- the mastery of tools, such as digital mapping and 3D visualization of data.
- the learning of methods of quantitative characterization of geomaterials (e.g., advanced microscopy, geochemistry, experimental rock deformation)
The master's program is based on the internationally recognized scientific and technical excellence of the Geosciences Montpellier laboratory, and on the involvement of professionals in geomaterials.
Know-how and skills
- Know how to implement a scientific approach, from in-situ observation to the interpretation of complex models
- Know how to build a project / a technical study, from the identification of expectations, observations and analysis required, to the deliverables
- Understanding geodynamic processes and associated earth materials
- Understanding the mechanics and rheology of rocks
- Know how to read and interpret a geological map in all geodynamic contexts
- Know how to carry out a high-resolution field mapping in connection with the use of modern techniques (GIS: Geographic Information System)
- Mastering analytical techniques and modern tools for characterizing geomaterials
