Environmental Management - ENVS362
This unit provides an advanced understanding of the interdisciplinary links between environmental research, management strategies and policy frameworks that are fundamental to environmental management. We explore significant issues and challenges associated with managing our dynamic environment, including catchment assessment and prioritisation, river and wetland rehabilitation, land degradation and recovery, coastal erosion, atmospheric pollution, climate change, and variability. To emphasise practical applications and outcomes, the unit includes a field visit to sites of environmental importance in the Sydney region and students develop skills in environmental impact assessment and professional literacy that are designed to enhance employability.
