Deep-sea sediments off the Al Wajh Carbonate Platform, Red Sea - Sample preparation and analysis (Internship)
This Deep-sea sediments off the Al Wajh Carbonate Platform, Red Sea - Sample preparation and analysis (Internship) project from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) covers the Red Sea records climatic and associated sea-level and hydrological changes throughout the Quaternary.

Fiber-Optic Sensing for Geological, Geophysical and Environmental Applications
Fiber-optic sensing has rapidly emerged as a transformative tech for monitoring/understanding many geological, geophysical & environmental processes. By exploiting existing TC infrastructure or purpose-built cables, it enables high-resolution measurements across large spatial/temporal scales, opening new perspectives in environmental monitoring, natural hazard assessment & geophysical exploration.

Integrated Water Monitoring Assessment Across Time and Scale
Mineral water holds both exclusive socio-economic value and deep cultural value significance.The complexity of water-rock interaction processes requires integrated and multidisciplinary approaches for their effective characterization.This Summer School will offer a comprehensive, field-based learning experience, covering a broad range of topics crucial to the study of mineral and thermal waters

Introduction to Python for Geoscience Applications
The Summer School aims to provide students with the basic concepts of Python software and, through practical exercises on a computer running Python, to address some of the most common applications in the field of geosciences.

Introduction to Machine Learning and Deep Learning in Geosciences
This is an introductory-level course of Machine Learning. The aim of this course is to provide an overview of the main machine learning methods and their application to geophysical, geochemical, geological and environmental data.
