应用环境科学关注于理解自然过程，它们如何连接以形成自然环境以及如何“通过测量这些过程”来确定人为干扰，气候变化和环境污染的影响和影响。本专业将为您解决当今和未来的重大环境和气候问题做好准备，并为您进入环境领域的职业提供直接途径，尤其是作为环境科学家。它侧重于在现场和实验室上动手实践学习-您将探索土壤的形成和健康，河流，海岸和沙丘等地貌过程，以及这些环境以及污染物和污染物的管理在土壤，水和沉积物中。您将学习评估人类社会，生态系统和景观的脆弱性，设计严格的实验和基于实地的项目，并评估数据以为决策提供依据。您将
Applied environmental science is concerned with understanding natural processes, how they connect to form the natural environment and how – by measuring these processes – we can establish the impact and effect of human disturbances, climate change and environmental pollution. This major will prepare you to tackle the big environmental and climatic issues of today and tomorrow, and provides a direct path to a career in the environmental sector, particularly as an environmental scientist. It focuses on hands-on practical learning in the field and the lab – you'll explore soil formation and health, geomorphic processes such as river, coasts and dunes, as well as management of these environments, along with pollutants and contaminants in soil, water and sediment. You'll learn to assess the vulnerability of human societies, ecosystems and landscapes, design rigorous experiments and field-based projects, and evaluate data to inform decision making. You'll boost your career prospects by developing skills and undertaking experiences that provide the perfect training ground for a practical career in assessing and understanding the environment.
