GGES1003 2025-26
Environmental Field Techniques and Applications
This module is designed to provide you with hands-on experience of a wide range of contemporary environmental issues and techniques, and an understanding of how we make use of data to answer environment related research questions. The module is primarily delivered during a residential field trip (prevailing circumstances permitting). During the first part of the trip, you will visit different environments and learn key data collection strategies. The second part of the trip will involve undertaking a group research project, which offers you the opportunity to put into practice the skills learnt across the core Environmental Science curriculum from your first year. -

Environmental Justice and the Law
The module explores the concept of environmental justice and looks at the role of law in both aggravating and addressing environmental injustices. In an age of climate and biodiversity crises, the idea of environmental justice is at the heart of many of the most contentious and urgent debates in environmental law, at both the domestic and international level. In this module, students will have the opportunity to discuss and research a wide range of environmental law themes and issues (including access to clean water, mining and extraction, climate change, biodiversity and extinctions, plastic and pollution, animal rights, fisheries and the ocean, among others) and gain an understanding of the social, economic, political and environmental justice dimensions of each of these themes. In each class, students will learn about and discuss important case studies and case law, and in this way gain an expansive understanding of how law responds to (and creates) environmental problems, and how those affected by environmental injustice use the law to resist environmental harm. -

Environmental Law and Management
This module will enable students to apply their understanding of environmental problems and assess potential solutions through the application of law, policy, and management. The lecture sessions will introduce and analyse the theoretical development and structure of a legislative and management theme, followed up with an assessment of the application the law and management through practical exercises and discussion of case studies. There will be a focus on what the legislation, policy and environmental management will mean to students when they are working with businesses, government (national and local), and the public after graduation. The over-riding philosophy of the module is to explore how the application of environmental management and enforcement of legislation can lead to positive environmental changes in the commercial and domestic sectors. The emphasis in this class will be on discussion and group exercises.
Students will be encouraged to participate in debates at every opportunity as opposed to traditional lecture-based classes.
Students from outside the School of Geography and Environmental Science wishing to take this module should contact the module lead to discuss their academic background and determine if this module is suitable. -
