Description MUHS

The main objective of the Master's Degree in Subsurface Hydrology (MsDSH) is to provide advanced and specialized training in the field of groundwater and integrated water resources management. The master's degree prepares students for the development and execution of projects, studies and operations related to the use, maintenance, conservation and restoration of underground water resources, taking into account their environmental, social, economic and sustainability values.
The MsDSH offers complete training in the basic tools of hydrogeology and introduces students to the most advanced techniques for the study of groundwater. These include environmental characterization techniques, advanced instrumentation, field and laboratory tests and, especially, computational tools for numerical modeling of flow, transport, and subsoil decontamination processes. The MsDSH incorporates statistical tools for the treatment and interpretation of complex hydrogeological databases, with special attention to geostatistics and methods based on artificial intelligence and machine learning, aimed at improving analysis, prediction and decision-making. All courses will be taught by members of the Groundwater Hydrology Group, which are professionals and scientists known worldwide.
