BIOL3074 2030-31
Global Challenges in Biology
This module will consider human-caused global challenges and their impact on marine and terrestrial ecosystems. We will discuss the main causes of global change, including greenhouse gases, changes in temperature and rainfall, and human land use, as well as how these changes can subsequently trigger other drivers of change (e.g. ocean acidification, soil characteristics, loss of biodiversity) or social challenges (e.g. food security). Biological responses to these global changes will be considered in terms of how organisms, species and communities may acclimatize, adapt or change. After consolidating understanding of the causes of, and biological responses to, global change, we will consider what these impacts mean for ecosystem structure, function, ecosystem services and natural resource management. -

Global Challenges in Context: Conflict and Security
In order to address any contemporary global challenge, it is vital that we understand the roots of the problem and its historical context. This module explores the broad history of conflict, enabling you to place global events within a wider context and consider how best to address them considering this historical background. It will introduce you to the history of civil and international war and consider the evolution of great-power conflict both prior to and since the Cold War. The module will also consider contemporary and future threats, such as new waves of terrorism and cyber conflict. -

Global Challenges in Context: Energy and Environment
In to order address any contemporary global challenge, it is vital that we understand the roots of the problem and its historical context. This module addresses energy and the environment, providing you with a broad overview of the history of energy use including coal, oil, and gas, as well as the rise of environmentalism in the twentieth century. It will explore how energy use has affected the Anthropocene in both broad and specific ways, such as the discovery of human-induced climate change and the impact of colonialism upon environmental challenges. Additionally, the module will consider the future of sustainable development considering this historical context and explore the ways in which future policy can approach these challenges.
