The module aims to provide a substantial grounding in selected principal areas of Environmental Science, with particular focus on the lithosphere (geology and geomorphology), the hydrosphere (hydrology) and the movement of energy in the environment, which become the target of more advanced study at higher Levels. Through the development of environmental comprehension, interdisciplinary awareness and analytic technique the Module aims to provide students with the skills and understanding which can serve them in the future, both within and outside the practice of Environmental Science.
