"The Master’s Programme Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (M-GEO) is a two-year academic curriculum at MSc level, taught fully in English, dedicated to understanding the earth’s systems from a geographic and spatial perspective. The field of Geo-information Science and Earth Observation has, in recent years, witnessed fast scientific and technological developments. As a result, geographic information has become a vital asset to society and part of our daily life. The ubiquitous production and availability of spatial data require cloud computing and new technology to turn the increasing volume of ‘big data’ to good use. The growing range of global challenges, from climate change and resource depletion to environmental pollution and pandemic diseases, that our society and in particular the more vulnerable populations on our planet are facing, increases the demand for academic professionals who have the ability, attitudes and skills to design solutions that are sustainable, transdisciplinary and innovative with positive societal impacts. Our education focuses on addressing these global problems by means of advanced geo-information and earth observation applications."@en .

Supervised and unsupervised practicals on the environmental models are scheduled throughout the course for hands-on experience. A day is typically closed with a plenary question and answer session. Knowledge is tested with one graded individual assignment and one written test."@en .

"The previous Natural Resource Management (NRM) courses have focused on the inventory natural resources and to detect and assess changes in the environment such as loss of ecosystems and biodiversity, deforestation and forest degradation and threats to food security due to decreased crop yields. Different methods and techniques are available to guide NRM in its efforts to reverse resource degradation or alleviate its consequences. Proper understanding of cause and effect of changes in natural resources is crucial to achieve this. As these changes occur in the real-world, and not in a laboratory set-up, making statements about causal relations is a challenge.\n\nIn this course, students will study generic techniques and apply and evaluate environmental models that aim to estimate change in natural resources in response to environmental changes."@en .
