Description:
The Master in Environmental Protection in scope of Ecohydrology aims to create highly specialized professionals in the are between ecology and hydrology and know how to use it as a management tool for protection and management of the natural environment in context of modern methods and ecological biotechnologies, and with consideration of current environmental policy.Secondly, graduates possess knowledge and understanding of the ecological processes that support the resilience of aquatic ecosystems and know how to harmonize them with existing engineering infrastructures at the river basin scale to achieve sustainable aquatic ecosystems use and to reverse the processes of human caused degradation. In addition, graduates understand the social and economic value of aquatic ecosystems and are able to develop the research and applications required to support and implement conservation and adaptation measures for the sustainable management of aquatic environments. Furthermore, graduates are qualified to use advanced tools in the planning, conception and design phases of ecohydrological projects. Finally, graduates possess necessary communication and research skills for integrated team work and are able to develop dinterface between researchers, stakeholders and decision makers. The programme content is also conducted in frame of the Erasmus Mundus Master of Ecohydrology (info and admission on www.ecohyd.org).
