About this course

Overview

This study package offers a specialisation in the field of environmental geoscience to students studying earth or environmental sciences, or related fields such as chemistry. It focuses on earth resources and associated issues such as pollution, sustainability and hydrology. Students will also take a unit on the evolution of Earth's Climate and Biosphere to understand the earth systems context of our modern environment. The specialisation is likely to be of most interest to students looking to work in careers around pollution mitigation, mining rehabilitation, carbon management, and water science - all crucial areas for science in the 21st century.

What you will learn

What you'll learn

  • have demonstrated narrower knowledge and understanding in a further field of study that is typically at a level that, whilst supported by advanced textbooks, includes some aspects that will be informed by knowledge of the forefront of Environmental Geoscience, GC1
  • can apply their narrower knowledge and understanding in a manner that indicates a professional approach to the field, and have competencies typically demonstrated through devising and sustaining arguments (to both specialist and non-specialist audiences) and solving problems within the field of Environmental Geoscience, including using digital technologies, GC2, GC3
  • can gather and interpret relevant data within Environmental Geoscience to inform judgements that include reflection on relevant social, scientific, or ethical issues, including being aware of the diversity of international perspectives associated with Environmental Geoscience, and how these impact upon the practice of the field, GC4, GC5
  • display a high standard of professional behaviour, including effective time management, both independently and as a team member, GC6
