This unit is designed to give students a general overview of spatial information and its applications. Spatial information is becoming an increasingly prevalent part of our daily lives. The ability to incorporate spatial information into various applications is a valuable skill, with applications across all manner of disciplines and vocations. This unit will introduce students to Geographic...

This unit introduces systematic methods of field and laboratory-based data collection, analysis, and reporting for practical applications in marine conservation. Lectures outline the quantitative nature of marine conservation research, the value of robust sampling strategies and experimental methods, assessment of cumulative historic and contemporary impacts (human development, invasive species,...

This unit is compulsary for Honours in Earth Sciences students who specialise in Earth Sciences, Economic Geology or Environmental Geosciences, and is optional for students specialising in Geophysics.This unit introduces students to specialist topics in earth sciences, including field mapping skills, and a choice of either igneous petrology, mineralogy, structural geology or geochronology. Unit...

Everything on earth and in space has a location, and in modern society we use spatial information (i.e. positions) to understand the world around us and our place in it. The rise of easily-accessible location data via Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) has changed the way we live and significantly influenced how decisions are made, from the personal to corporate and government levels....

This unit will introduce you to advanced principles and practice of developing secure web deployments. It will focus on the implementation strategies and technology for deploying scalable web applications. Web applications nowadays need to provide customised experiences to the users to provide a consistent use experience and capabilities. The interface must retain user attentions as much as...

This unit provides students with theoretical and practical electronics knowledge applied to various ship-board systems. It addresses the analogue, digital and power electronics involved with engine room and bridge equipment such as radar, echo sounder, gyro compass, communication, computer networking etc. ...

The design and analysis of engineering fluid systems and marine vehicles require the prediction of the fluid behaviour and the interaction between the fluid and the system. This requires a good knowledge of thermo-fluid dynamic principles and the behaviour under varying boundary and operational conditions. This unit introduces students to numerical methods used to solve applied maritime...

This unit explores cybersecurity as it is managed in the business context. It covers the processes of threat and risk analysis, security policy development, incident prevention and response, issues around privacy, professional codes of conduct, and looks at legislative efforts around the world intended to address privacy and cybersecurity issues. It also looks at the ethical issues that...
