Education of Soil Geography and Landscape
We educate soil- and landscape development through time on various temporal and spatial resolutions and extents, as well as supporting methodologies such as -- among many others -- (field) soil assessment, landscape evolution modelling, machine learning for mapping and luminescence dating. We contribute to many courses in the BSc programme Soil, Water & Atmosphere and in the MSc programme Earth & Environment (especially Track D: Soil Geography and Earth Surface Dynamics), including hosting and supervising your thesis or internship.
Questions about theses?
The Bachelor Thesis Soil, Water, Atmosphere is the final step towards your BSc graduation. We offer a wide range Master Thesis topics. Your related questions can be answered by:
