Aims
To provide students with Scientific knowledge underpinning climate change biology. How the changing climate affects biological processes in animals and plants and the consequential effect on humans. To equip the students with the necessary knowledge, skills and techniques that are used to measure the effects of climate change on biological processes.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Gain practical and theoretical understanding on how terrestrial and aquatic plants and algae are influenced by climate change drivers
2.
Gain practical and theoretical understanding on how terrestrial and aquatic animals are influenced by climate change drivers
3.
Gain theoretical understanding on how human health and disease are influenced by climate change drivers
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Terrestrial plants, aquatic plants and algae, terrestrial and aquatic animals. Soils. Impacts on pollution and health and disease.
Module Overview:
This module enables you to examine the key biological processes that are affected in plants and animals due to climate change driven biotic and abiotic stresses. This will include examining from biochemical to organismal processes and their link to the environment.
