Learning outcomes
|
The course will prepare students to analyze and evaluate environmental changes in urban, suburban, and rural landscapes, particularly in the context of climate change, biodiversity, and ecosystem functioning. Students will learn to work with field and secondary data, instrumentation, and GIS tools, and how to apply them in the design of adaptation, planning, and conservation measures.
Students will understand environmental changes across various landscape types and learn the basics of their assessment and modelling.
