Skills for Global change biology

Code: IVES725

Credits: 15

Semester: Semester 2

New technologies such as genomics and remote monitoring are transforming our ability to rapidly understand the biodiversity of populations and ecosystems, and how these are responding to environmental change. This module will enable students to critically evaluate the opportunities and limitations of such technology, develop the skills to analyse and integrate complex data from field and experimental studies, and empower students with the ability to apply these skills to create and develop novel solutions to problems faced by societies living on a changing planet. The module is delivered through active learning in computer workshops, peer-to-peer learning and field-based practicals. Students are assessed on their ability to develop and present solutions to authentic, real-world problems. This module is a mandatory module for the Global Change Ecology and Evolution MSc Programme and may also be suitable for students on other programmes.
