化学是一门物理科学，即对物质及其性质以及与能量的相互作用如何反应形成新物质的研究。环境地球科学领域考虑地球系统之间的相互作用和关系如何产生和响应环境变化。在该专业的化学组成部分中，您将学习分子的合成，分析，反应和性质。您将研究现代化学原理和实践，包括识别物质和化学方法在环境和生物样品中的应用。在环境地球科学部分中，您将了解侵蚀，沉积物运输和沉积起重要作用的环境的关键方面。这包括景观过程，生态功能，环境健康以及环境污染物的分布和修复。除了获得深入的科学知识，您还将学习现代科学教学中使用的最新技术和交流方法方
Chemistry is a physical science – the study of matter and how its properties and interactions with energy react to form new substances. The field of environmental earth sciences considers how interactions and relationships between earth systems produce and respond to environmental changes. In the chemistry component of this specialisation, you'll learn about synthesis, analysis, reactions and properties of molecules. You'll investigate modern chemical principles and practice, including the identification of substances and chemistry's application to environmental and biological samples. In the environmental earth sciences component, you'll learn about key aspects of the environment where erosion, sediment transport and deposition play a role. This includes landscape processes, ecological function, environmental health, and the distribution and remediation of environmental contaminants. As well as gaining in-depth science content, you'll acquire skills in the latest technologies and communication methods used in modern science teaching. You'll be equipped to teach the most up-to-date, forward-looking science to future generations.
