Aims
To provide students with an appreciation of fundamental processes that operate in (and link) catchments, riverine, coastal and marine environments in relation to climate change. To equip the students with the necessary skills and techniques that are used for monitoring and comprehending these changing environments.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Interpret and analyse the processes that act in catchments
2.
Interpret and analyse the processes that act in coasts and oceans
3.
Understand the impacts of climate change on catchments, coasts and oceans
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Hillslope and river hydrology, hyporheic, and ecohydrological processes in change. Flooding, Sea level rise. Coastal and oceanic processes in change including ecology and biogeochemistry.
Module Overview:
This module provides you with an appreciation of fundamental processes that operate in (and link) catchments, riverine, coastal and marine environments in relation to climate change. You will be equipped with the necessary skills and techniques that are used for monitoring and comprehending these changing environments.

Additional Information:The module will examine two of the most important Earth surface domains. Theme 1 (Catchments) will focus on understanding how climate change affects catchment water balance and ecohydrology. Theme 2 (Oceans) will focus on how climate change will affect coasts, sea level, physics, biogeochemistry, and ecology.
