Environmental Engineering is concerned with the study of clean technologies that have no or as little impact on the environment as possible. It analyses and develops new methods of waste management to minimize the negative effects of pollution on the environment. Another component of this field is the filtration technology development that aims at reducing the toxic emission in the air. This discipline focuses not only on the environment, but also on protecting the health of the employees of the industrial environment. Environmental Engineers protect the public health by applying engineering principles to the environment and contributing to the sustainable development.
Geoengineering is focuses in issues such as carbon dioxide reduction, global warming and solar radiation management, ocean fertilization, etc. It sets out to deliberately and systematically improve the environment on a large scale and enhance habitability. Applying engineering principles and methods, geoengineers work towards clean air, water and soil for the human society, but also for all living organisms and fight to remedy the pollution, degradation and destruction of natural habitats. Geoengineering can be regarded as Environmental Engineering with a broader scope and action.
Both fields tackle problems like waste management, impact assessment and mitigation, water treatment, air quality improvement. Graduates of this discipline have a good understanding of environmental systems and technologies and are dedicated to improving Earth.
The Universities of Edinburgh, Strathclyde and Exeter together with the Scottish Association for Marine Science and HR-Wallingford have formed a partnership to deliver the RCUK/ETI Industrial Doctorate Centre for Offshore Renewable Energy (IDCORE).
This programme will certificate you with a: * Doctoral Programme in Mining and Geo-Resources Engineering * Advanced Studies (3rd cycle) in Mining and Geo-Resources Engineering
Promoted by FEUP in cooperation with FCUL, ISEG, IST, together with the MIT, the PhD program consists in one curricular year (60 ECTS) and two to three years of research leading to a dissertation (120 ECTS) and grants the degree of Doctor in Sustainable Energy Systems. TARGET STUDENTS The courses are open for: • M.Sc. graduates in Mechanical, Electrical and Environmental Engineering or in other areas recognized as relevant by the Scientific Commission of the programme. • Graduates in Mechanical, Electrical and Environmental Engineering or in other areas recognized as relevant by the Scientific Commission of the programme. CURRICULAR PLAN The official curricular plan of the SES PhD program is currently under restructuring. 3 graduation profiles have been defined: • Energy Systems Planning (Engineering and Economics). • Sustainable Built Environment. • Advanced Electric Networks.

MINES ParisTech
Description of the center and the fields of research : The activities of the Centre of Geosciences are being developed in the field of Earth Sciences and the Environment. It covers virtually all scientific disciplines in this field, from geology to geodetics, via geophysics, geostatistics, hydrogeology, geochemistry and geomechanics. Its research activities are developing in four areas : - Exploitation of mineral raw materials and fossil fuels; - Long term stability of geological environments and their installations; - Authorized environments;- Risks associated with the soil and sub-soil.

National University of Ireland, Maynooth
The National Centre for Geocomputation (NCG) was established at the National University of Ireland, Maynooth (NUIM) through the award of a Research Fellowship to Prof. A. Stewart Fotheringham by Science Foundation Ireland. The Centre is a resource for those interested in any aspect of the capture, storage, integration, management, retrieval, display, analysis or modelling of spatial data.

Energy, environment and climate change research are strongly interlinked. The challenges for energy research will increase against a background of climate change, changing energy provision within uncertain world politics, increasing world population, increasing pollution and need for control and remediation. The group's environmental research covers hydro/morphodynamic and geotechnical processes, particularly associated with pollution dispersion/migration and sediment transport, the built environment and urban aerodynamics. There is strong underpinning capability in computational fluid dynamics and soil mechanics, multi-phase flows, sprays, turbulence modelling and heat transfer.
Politecnico Di Milano
Structural-Seismic-Geotechnical Engineering consists of the disciplines and techniques that allows to understand, model and control the behavior of the structural materials, of the soil, of the buildings and of their interaction with the environment.
Czech University of Life Sciences Prague
The graduate characteristics: The graduate has deep knowledge in general theory of machinery and equipment applied in agriculture and in related engineering fields. The knowledge will develop standard engineering approaches particularly in the field of sensorical methods, communication techniques, computer technology and data processing together with results observed thereby.
