The EU curriculum is organized into 6 course modules:
- Climate: meteorological variables, major climates of the Earth
- Surface energy balance: radiative, conductive, and convective fluxes, surface energy balance,
reference evapotranspiration (Penman and Penman-Monteith methods)
- Plants: growth and development cycle, phenology, geometric structure, photosynthesis, root system,
water in the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum
- Crop models:
-Monteith approach, water constraints
- Impact of climate change on agriculture
Objectives*:
The objective of this module is to provide the theoretical foundations for understanding the influence of climate on crop pro
. The targeted competencies include knowledge of the fundamentals
of ecophysiology and the relationships between climate, water, and crop production.

This learning unit introduces the fundamental concepts needed to understand the formation and operation of geothermal reservoirs.
First, the various types of geothermal energy—ranging from very low-energy geothermal systems to high-energy geothermal systems for electricity generation—are discussed in detail and examined through real-world case studies. A global overview is provided to assess the energy potential of geothermal resources.
The EU will then focus on several topics specific to geothermal energy, such as mass and heat transfer mechanisms in reservoirs. These will be discussed and illustrated using real-world examples through numerical modeling. The geological signature of geothermal reservoirs, such as mineral alterations, will also be studied in detail through case studies.
The issue of storage will be addressed by examining applications such as the underground storage of CO2, heat, or energy. The influence of the mechanical properties of reservoir rocks, as well as the interactions between the stored fluids and the surrounding rocks, will be highlighted in order to assess the feasibility and sustainability of these storage systems.

This module aims to provide a foundation in the principles of positioning and topographic mapping. Basic knowledge of GNSS and laser positioning methods is covered in class and then applied in the field and during practical exercises. Finally, a project assignment is designed to enable students to apply the practical and theoretical knowledge covered at the beginning of the module and, above all, to better understand the complementary nature and accuracy of geodetic measurements.
Course Content:
- Introduction to Terrestrial and Space Geodesy
- Reference Frames in Geodesy
- Traditional Tools of Terrestrial Geodesy
- The GNSS Positioning System
- Applications of Geodesy (active tectonics, landslides, anthropogenic deformation, etc.)
- Topographic surveying (DTM, LIDAR, etc.)
