Specific skills
On completion of this master's degree, students will be able to:
• Analyse field and laboratory data and design experiments, using computerised methods.
• Know the analytical techniques applied to inorganic natural resources and their waste, how to use them and the interpretation of results.
• Use the scientific and technical information to respond effectively to any demand for the preparation of an analytical method for the characterisation of a natural or anthropogenic material.
• Know remote sensing techniques and satellite image interpretation applied to the characterisation and management of geological natural resources.
• Use geological materials in industrial processes of high added value.
• Identify processes of pollutant accumulation in the air, water and soil compartments of the environment.
• Design a process to minimise a pollutant, waste or, in general, any type of pollution.
• Identify the presence of metals mostly in mining, industrial and agricultural wastes.
• Minimise the pollution by dust, noise and vibrations that is common in mining, using the most advanced techniques.
• Restore areas degraded by the exploitation of natural resources, using the most up-to-date restoration techniques.
• Design natural biotechnological processes to remove pollutants from solid, liquid and gaseous media.
