This course examines interactions that occur between people and their environments. You will assess how physical and human processes combine to affect environmental change, and adopt a focus-topic approach to examine several critical environmental concepts. You will investigate current examples of global environmental change to analyse how biophysical systems operate and how they are impacted upon by human activities. The collective investigation of global and regional examples will provide you with an integrated framework for advancing your understanding of broader environmental concepts, including sustainability, sustainable development, resilience and biodiversity.
