University of Gothenburg Masters course in Environmental Geology

This course is aimed at evaluating risks and remediation alternatives with knowledge from several fields, but emphasizing a geological perspective. The course is divided into short courses, and these separate pages at this website will be used to post information, and materials from the short courses. 

Masters Program in Environmental Science at Univ. Port Harcourt

The main goal is to produce competent indigenous manpower capable of developing and implementing integrated, multidisciplinary and sustainable solutions to developmental and environmental challenges in Nigeria (especially the Niger Delta) and the West African sub-region. The Institute of Natural Resources, Environment and Sustainable Developement (INRES) has been established at the University of Port Harcourt to carry out these goals.

Internet teaching and international cooperation - INRES

 

An on-going cooperation with the University of Port Harcourt (Uniport) in and the University of Gothenburg has mainly involved the INTRES MSc program. Prof. R. Stevens held lectures and dicussions using the Google "Hangout" function, whch worked reasonably well considering this was a new experience within this cooperation. See page 5 in Uniport Weekly using the link below.
