You will develop an understanding of the relationships between various components, processes and cycles on Earth and how they influence living organisms. The human impacts on all aspects of the global ecosystem will be considered, with a focus on how science and technology are being used to gain a deeper understanding of these processes and cycles and also how it can be used to minimise the problems caused, helping to reduce the human impact on the atmosphere, hydrosphere at biosphere. You will learn through a mixture of lectures, internet-based research and group activities, as well as on various off-site visits where you will undertake a range of compulsory fieldwork practical tasks.
