Geohazards and Climate Change
The Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree in Geohazards and Climate Change is a two-year, full-time on-campus program in Geology offered by Adam Mickiewicz University in collaboration with international partner institutions. The program focuses on understanding natural hazards such as earthquakes, landslides, floods, and volcanic activity, as well as the impacts of climate change on Earth systems. Students develop advanced knowledge of geological processes, risk assessment methods, and environmental change dynamics through both theoretical training and field-based studies.
Graduates are well-prepared for careers in geological risk assessment, environmental consulting, and climate change research institutions. The program also builds strong analytical and geospatial analysis skills, enabling students to contribute to disaster risk reduction and sustainable environmental planning. Natural Hazard Analysis is a key component of the curriculum, equipping students with the expertise needed to address global challenges related to geohazards and climate change.
