Environmental Science Fieldwork - ENVS270

This unit introduces students to widely used field practices, equipment and analytical methods used in environmental science. Quantitative measurement and analytical techniques for water, soil, sediment and contaminants are emphasised. The field school will be offered from 19-25 July, and although the location and content of the unit varies each year, students will undertake their studies in the field or remote laboratories. Students should enrol in this unit at the start of Session 1, and attend a compulsory lecture during March-April. The unit is ideal for students in one of the majors in natural and environmental sciences, and should be taken by those planning to work in environmental and engineering consulting or research.
