The MSc in Applied Marine Geoscience provides theoretical and practical training in measuring, quantifying and understanding the physical processes within the geological marine environment. It also provides a scientific base in order to decide how best to design and execute marine surveys, be they geophysical, sedimentological or geological.
This degree has been evolved from the Marine Geotechnics course which boasted a 30 year pedigree.
A series of modules have been designed to explain the processes that form and characterize a wide variety of sedimentary environments, from the littoral zone to the deep ocean. Those controls range from the dynamical, chemical, climatic to geological; all are inter-related.
Student on this course will gain knowledge and understanding of survey techniques in order to map these environments and thereby gain a better understanding of the processes that shape them. The final facet of the course involves an explanation of how these sedimentary materials react to imposed loads and how they behave geotechnically.
On completion of the course, graduates find employment in the offshore hydrocarbons industry, geophysical contract companies (both offshore and terrestrial), geotechnical engineering companies, river and harbor boards or government establishments like BGS. The course may also lead students to further academic research studies.
