This unit provide an introduction to the management of uses of the marine environment in arras beyond national jurisdiction. International Marine Management incorporates distinct yet interconnected themes: commercial resource exploitation (living and non-living); tourism, recreation and other non-extractive commercial uses of the oceans; shipping; piracy and other important security matters;...

The course of climate change can be altered, and science tells us the next decade will be crucial. Averting a climate catastrophe depends on rapid action to reduce greenhouse gases, as well as widespread adaptation to minimise the impact of the changes already being felt. This unit considers why we have not acted quickly as a society so far and what some of our options are going forward. We will...

This unit introduces the core concepts of soil science using a Tasmanian landscape lens. Students will develop the tools to advocate for the importance of soil to a range of stakeholders to sustainably feed the world. This unit integrates background knowledge from chemistry, physics, geography, agriculture, and environmental sciences into soil science and landscape systems. It requires students...
