MSc Applied Marine Geoscience

Bangor

 

INTAKE: September

Program Overview

The MSc Applied Marine Geoscience program at Bangor University focuses on studying the geological processes and features of the marine environment. Students gain practical skills in marine geophysical surveying, sediment analysis, and geological mapping, which are essential for addressing environmental challenges and resource exploration in marine settings.

  1. Marine Geology: In-depth study of marine geological processes, including plate tectonics, seafloor spreading, and submarine volcanism.

  2. Marine Geophysics: Exploration of geophysical techniques, such as seismic reflection, side-scan sonar, and multibeam bathymetry, to study the seafloor and sub-seafloor structures.

  3. Sedimentology and Stratigraphy: Understanding sedimentary processes, depositional environments, and stratigraphic analysis in marine systems.

  4. Marine Resource Exploration: Examination of marine resources, such as hydrocarbons, minerals, and renewable energy sources, and their sustainable extraction.

  5. Geotechnical Site Investigation: Techniques for geotechnical site investigation and assessment in marine construction projects.

  6. Marine Environmental Impact Assessment: Evaluation of human activities' impact on marine ecosystems and the development of mitigation strategies.

  7. Remote Sensing and GIS: Application of remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for marine geoscience research and mapping.

  8. Marine Surveying Techniques: Practical training in marine geophysical surveying and data interpretation.

  9. Marine Research Cruise: Opportunity to participate in a research cruise to gain hands-on experience in marine data collection.

  10. Marine Conservation and Management: Understanding the importance of marine conservation and sustainable management of marine resources.
