SOES6098 2029-30
Advanced Analytical Methods for Earth and Environmental Scientists
This module will introduce you to the advanced analytical laboratory and field skills required to be a modern analytical Earth and environmental scientist. The geochemical analysis of natural and anthropogenic materials is an essential part of many regulatory requirements and underpins many cutting-edge questions in both research and industry, from understanding our past climate, to monitoring of pollution, and finding new resources to power the green energy revolution. This course - condensed into a weeklong summer school - is a mix of local field work, lectures on analytical techniques and data analysis, and hands-on laboratory work using our cutting edge Geochemistry Laboratories (CERAS). By the end of the course, you will have the skills required to kick-start a career in analytical geoscience. -

Advanced Analytics
Having learnt the basic techniques and principles of business analytics in semester 1 modules, this module will introduce you to a number of advanced applications of business analytics in practice. These include data management using database engines, GLMs with embedded variable selection, big data solutions and technologies, and advanced models to extract complex non-linear patterns from large amounts of diverse data. The focus will be on the underlying principles, modelling methodologies, and implementation using appropriate software packages. -

GGES3031 2028-29
Advanced Arid Environments Field Course (Namibia)
This advanced field course module is delivered as a residential fieldcourse to Namibia (primarily based at the Gobabeb Namib Research Institute). It is designed for students interested in all aspects of physical geography, human geography and environmental change, but will focus on a specific topic relevant to arid environments such as ephemeral river dynamics, plant and animal adaptations, dune processes, dust emission, coastal landscapes, stony deserts, water resources and drought, environment-human interactions, evolving urban landscapes, plastic management and reuse, conservation and ecotourism, historical and socio-economic context of Namibia, etc.
Though a number of local talks and walks through different arid and urban environments, students will be exposed to different topics and processes relevant to Namibia and arid lands in general. Along with visits to the natural and urban environments around Windhoek and the Skeleton Coast around Swakopmund, the trip will include time at a remote arid research institute where students will undertake projects in small groups.
This module will, through a combination of tutor-led discussion and group project work in the field, cover topics that are central to understanding complex arid environment issues. -

SESA3044 2025-26
Advanced Astronautics
Advanced Astronautics picks up where year 2 Astronautics left off.
In this module you will further study Orbital Mechanics, while learning about relevant requirements, norms, standards and best practices. You will apply this knowledge to sustainable space mission design and discuss ethical, societal, and environmental impacts.
You will design suitable power subsystems, including detailed solar power system sizing and thermal modelling of spacecraft at systems level. You will learn to manage risks by establishing safe operational margins during sub-system design. -
