"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 .

"The students will work in a studio setting, i.e. they will work in teams pro-actively on a given case study project throughout the entire course. Project teams will need to develop a work plan that they then follow. Inputs in terms of lectures on certain topics, issues and methods as well as feedback and supervision by the team of lecturer will be provided as needed.\n\nImportant concepts, methods and techniques that have been addressed earlier in the curriculum can also be applied. Students need to demonstrate that they are able to describe, analyse and discuss a planning problem and come up with well-motivated plans that are risk sensitive. The emphasis will be on their ability to critically discuss and explain choices and to critically reflect on the proposed course of action.\n\nA link will be made with ESA course Q4. Lectures will be given partly to both student populations and some group assignments will be interdisciplinary in group composition and tasks.\n\nParticipation and attendance:\n\nCompulsory attendance for supervised practicals, fieldwork activities and seminars is required;\nDue to educational activities that require active involvement (e.g. group presentations), the lecturer may demand mandatory attendance during lectures or parts thereof.\n The course coordinator will communicate this at the start of the course."@en .

They also have to adapt to the impacts of climate change. Accordingly, city authorities, planners and other stakeholders are searching for ways to be more risk-sensitive in their plans and actions. Becoming resilient includes developing the capacities to meet such challenges.\n\nThis course addresses concepts of urban risk management and approaches to integrate risks associated with hazards and climate change into urban planning and management strategies and actions. GIS-based methods to conduct urban risk and vulnerability assessments and evaluate potential planning interventions will be learned and applied."@en . "Risk-sensitive Urban Planning Studio"@en .
