students in broad geologic themes including in particular earth-surface processes through Quaternary times. This focus includes sedimentology and the anthropogenic impact on earth surface processes, analyses and dating of sedimentary sequences to decipher climate and environmental change, actualistic glacial geological studies including polar areas, natural hazards and physical properties of unconsolidated rocks. This approach guarantees a fundamental education that will enable graduates to face everyday scientific and applied geologic challenges with a special focus on unconsolidated
