OVERVIEW

The teaching is composed of two modules: "Applied Geology and Hydrogeology" and "Environmental Law".

Applied Geology analyses the environmental effects of the implementation of engineering projects and the geological phenomena that influence the evolution of the environment and the territory. Hydrogeology studies the geological problems related to underground waters in order to ascertain their presence, quantity and quality for exploitation.

In addition to providing the basic tools in the above subjects, the teaching also provides an overview on environmental legislation.

Please refer to the teaching sheets of the two modules for more details.

AIMS AND CONTENT
