In addition to offering specific, pre-defined thesis projects, the ERG Speciality offers students the chance to design new projects that fit their scientific interests and career goals. Typically, such projects are attached to large team investigations now being carried out by academics at Bern, in conjunction with industry partners. Current projects include groundwater contamination (e.g. heavy metals), geochemical studies to support selection of radioactive waste repositories, CO2 sequestration, geothermal energy, and genesis of hydrothermal ore deposits. Master theses in these fields may involve combinations of field, analytical, experimental or modelling work. Interested students are welcome to contact Prof. Larryn Diamond. Advisors are members of the Institute of Geological Sciences at Bern and research partners from industry.
