Floods, storms, and landslides affected about 3 billion people in 1998-2017 and caused about 70% of global disaster-related economic losses: in a changing climate, water-induced hazards will continue to be one of the critical challenges for our society and for engineering science and practice. The Water and Geological Risk Engineering Master Program aims to form the new global leaders in hydrological and geological science and technology, by providing an interdisciplinary background including state-of-the-art skills (satellite, airborne, drone remote sensing monitoring, hydrologic/hydraulic/geological modelling, big-data handling) and a strong theoretical preparation (climate change and the water cycle, water flows in the environment, risk analysis).
