地质海洋学硕士

四年制学位课程重点研究地球系统科学背景下的海洋沉积物。该学位的重点是在地球系统科学背景下研究海洋沉积物。它涉及沉积过程（海洋环境中颗粒的起源，运输和沉积），以及海洋沉积物和岩石，特别是过去两百万年中形成的沉积物和岩石，而且还与时光倒流有关。它与BSc课程的不同之处在于，它侧重于获得与海上勘测和碳氢化合物行业直接相关的技能和知识。地质海洋学家必须解决诸如与可再生能源基础设施和油气勘探有关的海上现场调查，气候和海平面变化以及沿海侵蚀等问题。这些都是充满挑战和蓬勃发展的领域，目前缺乏担任这些职位的合格人员。毕业
Like its BSc counterpart, this four year degree focuses on the study of marine sediments within an Earth system science context. You will learn about sedimentary processes the origin, transport and deposition of particles in the marine environment, and marine sediments and rocks, in particular those formed in the past 2 million years, but also further back in time. This MSci differs from the BSc course as it places emphasis on gaining skills and knowledge of direct relevance to the offshore survey and hydrocarbon industry.<br>Geological Oceanographers are required to tackle issues such as offshore site investigation related to renewable energy infrastructure and oil and gas exploration, climate and sea-level change, and coastal erosion. These are challenging and buoyant areas of development, there is currently a lack of qualified people for these roles. After graduation, you will not only have a deep understanding of the earth system, but you will also have a broad range of practical skills in sedimentology, geophysics and geotechnics. The data integration skills we teach on this degree are in short supply in the offshore industry, this means you will have a good chance of getting a great job after you finish your degree.<br>We are one of the largest university centres teaching marine sciences in the UK and among the biggest in Europe.<br>The geologists on our staff have expertise in the relevant subject areas and we have strong links with the offshore and hydrocarbon industry.<br>We are unique in the UK in offering the sedimentology / geophysics / geotechnics combination of subject areas and the School of Ocean Sciences is very well recognized amongst practicing professionals as providing high quality employees to the offshore sector.<br>Placement Year and International Experience Year Available<br><br>Careers<br>This course is ideal preparation for careers in offshore site investigation related to renewable energy infrastructure and the offshore industry, research, environmental impact assessment, the water supply industry, coastal zone management, government advisory bodies and the scientific media.
