SCI5261 Research in Environmental Management 1
SCHOOL OF NATURAL SCIENCES
Credit Points: 20
Prerequisites:
Successful completion of Stage 2 MEnvMgt plus relevant work experience
 
Description:
The two units together are designed to provide in-depth and practical experience in the investigation of an important environmental management issue of relevance to the local or national context. Students will be expected to identify a significant local issue in environmental management, and conduct an appropriate literature survey as a basis for further research. A research investigation will then be designed and implemented, chosen on the basis of analysis of the issues and the literature surveyed in the literature review. Students will be guided in their problem definition and research approaches through the unit materials and contact with the unit tutor and a research supervisor. Students will be encouraged to explore the availability of both published and unpublished sources of data and seek to interpret those in the context of their research interest (rather than generate their own data from field or laboratory-based experimental work).
