General information

Coordinator: Mr Wayne Kirstine

The discipline

The major sequence in environmental science and resource management explores the scientific basis for management of natural resources and environmental problems. There is a focus on conservation, biodiversity, natural area management and the sustainable use of resources such as air, soil, water and energy.

Units offered

Level one

• CHM1616 Chemistry for biology
• ENV1616 Environmental science 1

Level two

• ENV2726 Conservation of bioresources
• ENV2737 Environmental science 2
• ENV2747 Soil science
• ENV2757 Environmental health

Level three

• ENV3726 Atmospheric processes
• ENV3737 Environmental management
• ENV3639 Global resources and energy management
• ENV3647 Forest management
• ENV3656 Natural area management

Sequence requirements

Minor sequence in environmental science and resource management (24 points):

• CHM1616 and ENV1616, and
• any two of ENV2726, ENV2737, ENV2747 and ENV2757.

Major sequence in environmental science and resource management (48 points):

• CHM1616 and ENV1616, and
• any two or three of ENV2726, ENV2737, ENV2747 and ENV2757, and
• any 24 or 18 remaining points from ENV3726, ENV3737, ENV3639, ENV3647 and ENV3656.

Details of the CHM units, and some related sequences, are described in the `Applied chemistry' entry in this section of the handbook.
