About this programme
In order to continue to meet the global demand for mineral resources, it is necessary to drive forward their extraction in areas of the geosphere that are characterised by increased mining geological complexity and complex interaction with the environment and the social environment. Under these conditions, the primary objective remains to ensure maximum safety for the public and mining operations, to act in an ecologically and socially responsible manner and to utilise natural resources in the best possible way. The integration of all process steps in the extraction of natural resources into an "end-to-end" perspective, which enables transparent communication of sustainable process indicators between process steps and also between all project participants and interest groups, is an essential necessity for this. The basis for this is the use of state-of-the-art sensor technologies to collect georeferenced data and for data management, state-of-the-art methods for extracting and analysing information and integrating it into decision-making models, such as deposit models or models for predicting environmental impacts. This approach requires core competencies in the fields of surveying technology and sensor technology, data processing and geoinformatics as well as geomodelling, or "GEOMATICS" for short. The aim of the Master's programme in Geomatics for Mineral Resource Management is to provide students with the necessary skills to develop innovative geomonitoring concepts for ca
