Content
SLE325 enables students to develop multidisciplinary knowledge of the links between physical, chemical and anthropogenic disturbance to ecological response. Learning and assessment activities in this unit will provide students with the opportunity to examine the conceptual basis for ecological risk assessment and remediation. Impacts linked to human activities such as mining, coastal development, waste discharges and exotic species will be investigated and will be considered in the broader context of a changing climate. Students will be working independently and collaboratively to research and practice methods for assessing human impact, ecological risk identification and remediation through current case studies and applied field/laboratory exercises.
