Bachelor of Applied Earth Sciences

In the bachelor of Applied Earth Sciences we teach

  • Mechanics (AESB1320-17 - 5EC, 1st year)
  • Electricity and Magnetism (AESB1420-17 - 5EC, 1st year)
  • Signals and Systems with Python (AESB2122 - 5EC, 2nd year)
  • Chemical Thermodynamics (AESB2220-20 - 5EC, 2nd year)
  • Geostatistics and Remote Sensing (AESB2440 - 5EC, 2nd year)

and contribute to

  • Grand Challenges and Applied Earth Sciences (AESB1242 - 9EC, 1st year)
  • Probability and Statistics (AESB1213 - 5EC, 1st year)
  • Methodology of Geophysics and Remote Sensing (AESB1440-21 - 5EC, 1st year)
  • Geological Fieldwork (AESB2430 - 5EC and AESB2431 - 5EC, 2nd year)

The second year BSc-course AESB2440 Geostatistics and Remote Sensing is connected to the Geological Fieldwork in the South-Eastern part of France. View from the top of the mountain over the La Motte-Chalancon area.

Classification map made by second year Applied Earth Sciences students during the fieldwork in France. In the field, students carry out a reconnaissance of the terrain, using also GPS-positioning. The resulting ground truth data are used for the purpose of training classification of remote sensing data, and a supervised classification of a Landsat-image of the area.
