Course Summary

MSc Environmental Monitoring, Modelling and Reconstruction focuses on analysing past, present, and future dynamic environments, providing you with the skills for a career in environmental management or consultancy, and a firm grounding for research in the environmental sciences. Concerns over the human impact on the environment have stimulated demand from governments and industry for the monitoring, analysis and modelling of natural processes in environmental systems. This is essential if we are to improve understanding of the interrelation of environmental variables in order to predict and manage their responses to anthropogenic perturbations. Studying this course, you will gain: advanced theoretical knowledge and practical expertise in order to collect, interpret and analyse contemporary and past environmental data modelling skills, in order to investigate the interrelationships between environmental variables, and to predict their responses to changing internal and external conditions intellectual and practical skills, in order to design and undertake field and/or laboratory experiments in contemporary environmental process-monitoring, or palaeoenvironmental reconstruction, and to design and test appropriate environmental models with the data you collect.

Modules

This unit is designed to support students through the process of planning and executing their dissertation. Students will receive skills training specific to dissertation research including research methods, research design, project planning, ethics, and risk assessment. There will also be several sessions from recent alumni who will talk to current students about the role of research in their careers.
