arth Sciences embrace a large number of disciplines concerning three main topics: Geology, Energy and Environment. These topics are treated with the aim to provide the basic knowledge of the evolution of planet Earth and in particular: structure of matter at the atomic scale, Earth’s interior and continental dynamics, causes of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, earth-surface processes and life evolution. Education in this field of studies is aimed at outline the continuous transformations (past, present and future) of our planet, with focus on environmental risks connected with its natural evolution.

kill in Earth Sciences issues means gaining theoretical and experimental knowledge, as well as attitude to the observation and monitoring of natural processes. Expertise in Earth Sciences is also essential for having success in several professions, such as applied and environmental geology, oil drilling, protection and management of natural resources, land use planning and many others, including basic research activities.
