Geomatics for Mineral Resource Management (MGMRM)

About

Geomatics is an interdisciplinary field of research that combines aspects of surveying and sensor technology with data processing, geoinformatics and geomodelling. The main focus of Geomatics for Mineral Resource ManagementÂ lies on the regulation and control of the interplay between resource extraction and its environmental impact. Having excellently trained experts in the field of Geomatics is more important now than ever. The reason for this is the continuously rising global demand for raw materials, which leads to the extraction of mineral resources in areas of the geosphere that are more difficult to access. Simultaneously, the highest standards of safety as well as environmental and social regulations need to beÂ complied with, and the optimal use of natural resources by maximising recovery is desired. This requires engineers to be able to develop new, innovative solutions and to make the best use of the most modern technology to acquire, manage and analyse geodata. The European course on Geomatics for Mineral Resource Management aims to develop future leaders and innovators in this field. The educational content focuses on these pillars: Geo-Data Acquisition Geo-Data Management and Visualisation Geo-Data Analysis and Modelling

Requirements

Entry Requirements

All students must have earned a relevant academic degree (BSc degree) in MinÂing, Mine Surveying, Tunnelling, Geodesy, Geoinformatics, Geosciences or Geotechnical Engineering. Students holding a BSc degree from outside of the core field of mining and mine surveying (e.g., Safety Engineering, Applied Geology, Industrial Engineering, etc.)Â will have to take an additional set of courses before they can be admitted to the programme.Â The additional courses will be decided upon by the international committee during the admissions process. These additional courses include the following modules: engineering mathematics, introduction to programming and information technology, physics for engineers, data analysis and statistics, introduction to geodetic surveying, introduction to geosciences (geology, mineralogy), introduction to mining engineering and geoengineering. Please note the English and German language requirements!
