Available MSc theses at the Department of Geosciences

Do you not find a thesis you like? You can also make contact with the programme option coordinator and ask for an opportunity to get a tailored thesis within a subject, or a current issue that you are interested in.

You cannot start working on a Master's thesis before you have formally been admitted to the master's programme in Geosciences or CS: Geoscience, or have made an individual agreement with the Student administration.

MSc theses listed twice on this page are because they are listed in more than one programme option.
