Produktbeschreibung

Geotechnology combines knowledge about the earth, locally and globally, with an understanding of humans' increasing need for nonrenewable resources and limited space. The Earth is undergoing changes both on and below the surface because of our demanding society. As an advanced engineer you will manage the recovery of rocks, mineral, uncompacted material, subsoil water, coal and oil. You will learn how to place tunnels and other underground structures. You will learn how to prevent environmental damage and pollution. You will learn how to find ways to repair possible negative side effects from construction and mineral production. Even though the major financial effects of geological activities are of today's concern, the deepest traces will remain for thousands of years. Having knowledge in Geotechnology, you may contribute to the shaping of our future society. Making use of the underground for numerous purposes is ever more important, for instance for transportation, recreation and storage. The mining industry has for several hundred years been an important industry in Norway, and the mining and mineral industry is experiencing growth. Recycling materials and fighting pollution are also among major societal challenges in the future. For those who wish to take part in the societal development in Norway, this programme of study offers great possibilities. The next time you drive through a tunnel, consider the fact that without geotechnological knowledge that tunnel could never have been built. Or the next time you switch on your computer - remember that without geotechnological knowledge that brings about all the raw materials, your computer could never have been made. Geotechnology includes a lot of field teaching and excursions. This is a useful and interesting way to learn about nature and geological processes, and is very popular among the students. This significant work will definitely act as a future guide to the geo-scientists.
