Overview

Environmental and engineering geoscience is the application of knowledge on Earth’s near-surface materials and processes to inform the design, implementation and operation of solutions in our natural and built environments.

Such insights are key to multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals (e.g. clean water, affordable clean energy, sustainable cities and communities), as they underpin resilient construction projects (e.g., transport infrastructure, buildings, dams, tunnels), efficient renewable energy systems (e.g., wind farms, geothermal energy), and effective water resource and land management (e.g., groundwater supply, waste disposal, land decontamination).

Career

The Environmental and Engineering Geoscience programme from University College Dublin contributes to the Civil Engineering economic sector, which is a growing area of employment for geoscience graduates in Ireland and internationally. Graduates are therefore expected to have diverse job prospects in areas such as geotechnical engineering and ground investigation (where there is a skills shortage in both the UK and Ireland), hydrogeology, environmental impact assessment, construction site investigation, mine reclamation, slope/ground stability assessment, land-use planning, forestry planning, natural hazard assessment and risk mitigation, etc.
