Earth
Science is an integrated , synoptic study of the solid earth,
atmosphere and oceans and the interactions among them. The major
themes of R & D programs are aimed at earth resources and management
studies using modern tools and techniques of Geochemistry, Geophysics,
Remote Sensing, GIS and Information Sciences. The above mentioned P.G.
Course was started keeping in view of placement in Government and
Private Organisations, the expertise and infrastructures available in
the University and Department of Marine Geology.
The course
is open to all science, Agriculture, Civil & Mining Engineering
graduates. The main aim and objectives of this innovative course is to
train young graduates in resource assessment evaluation, planning and
management techniques and conservation practices for sustainable
development of natural resources and better environment. The Course
curriculum is prepared to suit the need of the day and is also
compatible with similar courses offered in many countries Viz. U.K.,
Australia, united States of America and South Africa. The course
contents include exotic subjects like Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing,
Landuse and Land cover, planning, evaluation and development.
Geo-informatics, Resource exploration, Geophysics and Geochemistry,
Surveying, Climatology, Training in Waste and Natural Geo-hazard
management and mitigation in addition to teaching in earth science.
The Students who undergo this training have a wide range of area to
choose their career. Students can get absorbed in several Governmental
Organisations, Private enterprises and also get jobs in National
Institutes and Private Consultancies. It provides self employment
opportunities in IT, Agriculture, Industrial and Rural Development
Sectors including Multi National Companies.
