Geological Sciences (Classe L-34)-Enrolled from 2014-2015 Academic Year
The Master course in Earth Sciences prepares geologists with an in-depth knowledge in various fields of the Earth Sciences offering opportunities of scientific development and employment both in public and private sectors. This degree provides theoretic and practical skills deriving from the field-based and laboratory training, internships and research stages in public and private institutions, national or international.
Some of the teaching subjects, which can offer solid professional opportunities are: (1) Analysis, quantification and modelling of Earth processes interacting within the Planet, on its surface, in the atmosphere and hydrosphere, related to the origin of energy, water and mineral resources. (2) Evaluation and characterisation of natural minerals for their role in geologic processes and with respect to industrial applications. (3) Basic field mapping and thematic mapping for the interpretation of geologic processes/products at various scales. (4) Analysis and interpretation of geological processes interacting with human activities for a balanced use of natural resources and for protection of the environment and archeological and cultural sites. (5) Field surveys and direct/indirect prospecting for the parameterisation of technical properties and behaviour of soils and rocks for wide and small scale engineering plans. (6) Exploration, exploitation, protection and reclamation of underground water resources, after local and diffuse pollution events. (7) Exploration, evaluation and management of natural and energy resources, and of environmental effects of their exploitation. (8) Characterisation and prevention of natural hazards for territorial management.
During the Master in Earth Sciences/"Scienze della Terra", students will acquire theoretical, experimental and practical knowledge in various disciplines of the Earth Sciences and widen their background knowledge in chemistry, physics and mathematics, specialised and related disciplines, as agronomy, and engineering. Students will analyse the complexities of natural processes, transformations of natural resources, human-induced impacts, and propose solutions on the basis of analytical techniques, field mapping methods, and construction of interpretative models. They will properly transfer analytical results into interpretations, using modern software packages.
The aims of the Master are to form Geologists able to: (a) analyse evolutionary processes of geologic systems and obtain models adaptable to engineering applications; (b) develop basic and applied geological research for different sectors of private and public employment, both in academia and industry; (c) recognise and forecast the medium and long term effects of the interaction between various geological processes, anthropogenic impacts, global climatic changes, intervention on reclamation and conservation of the quality of complex natural systems, individuation of the vulnerability of specific locations, evaluation of intrinsic hazard of geological phenomena interacting with human activities and proposal of risk reduction; (d) operate in industries for treatment of natural and analogue materials, and in similar public institutions, by running analytical laboratories, planning and executing measurements, in in agreement with research and development plans, quality controls, and law, or by industrial production processing; (e) operate independently in the professional activities, or employment with public and private companies or State organisations.
These activities and the acquired knowledge can provide expertise in the design of interventions on the territory, even in an interdisciplinary way.

The department of Earth Sciences offers opportunities for spending time as guest students at European universities and research centres both for attending courses/exams and for research and apprentiships related to projects for graduate, post-graduate and PhD students. Studying and doing research in foreign universities is not only an important life experience and the occasion for thorough learning of a foreign language, but is also, and primarily, the opportunity for experiencing and acquiring different and more flexible learning approaches. Doing research and apprentiships abroad may allow the access to facilities not available here (e.g., highly specialized labs), the performance of applied research on specific fields as well as the first-hand interaction with wider, international research groups. At present our partner universities in official Erasmus exchange agreements devoted to course/exams and, where indicated, research activity, are located in France, Germany, Spain, Holland, Switzerland and Turkey. However the agreements for bursaries specifically devoted to applied research/apprentiships can be stipulated with any other university or research centre with which any members of our department have or may establish collaboration on common research interests. For these research bursaries and, in general, for the correct validation of the research activity done by our students abroad, the role and the active involvement of a local member of the department is of fundamental importance, as he/she will act as official, competent internal scientific tutor for the student hosted in the guest foreign university. Students may access to "normal" Erasmus bursarships, allowing course/exam in addition to research activities in partner universities, as well as Erasmus Student Placement bursaries exclusively devoted to research/apprentiship activities. The access to the different types of bursary is done by means of separate application procedures. The activity (course/exam or research) that the candidate will do in the guest foreign university has to be agreed with the local professors/tutors in both original and guest universities by means of the "Learning Agreement".This document is of prime importance for the final validation and official administrative registration of the activity done abroad.
Ad integrazione di quanto previsto dall'obbligatorietà per l'istruzione di terreno, va aggiunta come obbligatoria l'istruzione ricevuta durante i laboratori pratici. La frequenza è la sola a garantire l'apprendimento e un agevole superamento dell'esame.

Laboratories locations
Teaching laboratories take place both in departmental structures, equipped with technical-scientific instruments and collections, and on-field, using customised logistics solutions.
Educational collections for the recognition and study of fossils, minerals, rocks, thin sections of rocks, topographic and geological maps are available in classrooms and in ad-hoc teaching laboratories. Computerized classrooms offer software for data processing and for the simulation of geological processes.
Scientific instruments available at the Department of Earth Sciences (http://www.dipterra.unimi.it/ecm/home/laboratori) help provide an introduction to optical, chemical and physical-mechanical characterization of minerals, fossils, rocks, soils, other natural or synthetic materials, as well as water and other terrestrial fluids. Practical exercises are carried out in laboratories of optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, mechanics of rocks, sedimentology, X-ray diffraction, X-ray spectrometry, absorption and emission spectrophotometry, visible and infrared spectroscopy.
Field laboratories take place in areas where students can learn geological cartography, process geological data and reconstruct the genetic processes of terrestrial materials (e.g. Valchiavenna Station).
