關於課程
The great societal challenges of this century - and many of the UN Sustainable Development Goals - are directly related to earth and ocean science: increasing vulnerability to geological hazards (floods and earthquakes), increasing need for renewable energy to replace oil and gas and to capture and store anthropogenic carbon, increasing demand for rare minerals and metals to support modern technology, and increasing need to sustainably manage all water resources as our climate changes.
At the University of Galway we offer an approach to Earth and Ocean Sciences that is unique in Ireland. Our staff experience and skills cover a wide range of disciplines such as mineralogy, petrology, geochemistry, geophysics, hydrogeology, physical and chemical oceanography, marine biogeochemistry, palaeobiology and sedimentology. Whether we are studying earthquakes, plate tectonics, volcanoes, ocean productivity, ocean currents, mass extinctions, climate change, energy, or environmental pollution, the most productive insights into these phenomena often arise from interactions amongst the different disciplines.
Career Opportunities
Graduates of Earth and Ocean Science are working in government agencies and departments (for example: EPA, Teagasc, Geological Survey Ireland), local authorities and other regulatory sectors, graduates are pursuing research and academic careers in Ireland and overseas, graduates are working in the private sector, in a range of industries and for a range of firms in the energy sector (geothermal, wind energy and other renewal energies), in the extractive industries (quarries and mining, especially in relation to rare earth elements), in conservation, restoration and environmental protection, and in the tourism sector. More than 25,000 are employed in geoscience in Ireland and the sector generates more than Three billion Euro per year for the Irish economy.
