The 4D Earth module focuses on comprehensive research into the Earth’s surface and subsurface, as well as the associated natural and anthropogenic processes and risks, employing interdisciplinary approaches. It addresses natural hazards such as earthquakes and landslides, as well as the impacts of human activities on the environment, human health, and ecosystems. Special emphasis is placed on the sustainable use of geological resources and risk management.

Particular attention is given to the analysis of geological and anthropogenic processes that shape natural and urban landscapes, as well as to the development of advanced methods for studying them. Modern tools such as GIS, remote sensing, 3D modelling, artificial intelligence, and machine learning facilitate spatial analysis and data interpretation to address current social and environmental challenges.

Students will learned about geomorphological, geophysical, and geochemical techniques and methods. They will also gain practical experience in exploring real-world cases. The module promotes a holistic understanding of environmental processes and fosters a critical approach to the sustainable management of space and natural resources.
