Facilities
During Semester 1, students have access to industry-standard field equipment in the School of BEES research facilities. This equipment will be used extensively in Semester 2 to undertake applied field training in hydrogeology, geophysics and geoinformatics.
As part of the offshore geology module in Semester 2, students will have the opportunity to participate in seabed mapping and surveying on board Irish research vessels operated by the Irish Marine Institute.
Course participants also have access to computing facilities, including geoscience software packages.
The School of BEES and programme delivery team enjoys excellent links with world-class Irish research centres and participating institutions including:
- Geological Survey Ireland
- Irish Centre for Research in Applied Geosciences (iCRAG)
- Centre for Marine and Renewable Energy (MaREI)
