Research Frontiers in Environmental Sciences - ENVS700

This unit is designed to engage students with current research in Environmental Sciences. It will introduce students to a number of the current open research questions across the discipline. The unit is based on focused 'Dialogue' sessions in which the frontiers of core research topics are introduced by a variety of staff members who explain how the topic is influencing their work. The unit addresses research across the breadth of the discipline, while also requiring students to apply core concepts to their preferred research topics. Activities may include such things as weekly classes, cross-university seminar attendance, directed reading of research papers, and the discussion and critiquing of research topics. Presentation of a seminar and a written report / essay based on the topics examined are required for completion of this unit.
