如果您真正关心环境并致力于可持续发展，那么获得环境科学学位可以帮助您开始职业生涯。在这个学位上，您将解决当今的科学问题，并探讨人类如何与环境互动，我们如何最好地管理环境以及如何更好地影响积极态度。在学习生物学，土壤科学，生态学，保护学和地质学时，您将在自然环境中进行实际操作。野外工作的范围可以从探索校园到参观哈勒特湾，第二谷，弗林德斯山脉的Arkaroola，甚至是向北旅行以查看干旱物种。
Bringing about real change in the way society interacts with the environment requires not only knowledge, but the ability to encourage community participation and coordinate community activities.Your studies will involve in-depth examinations in biological, earth and social sciences. You will master the basic skills of Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) and develop your problem-solving skills on the many field trips offered throughout the degree. We actively encourage our students to do work experience during their studies. You will have opportunities to develop professional connections, and participate in field studies interstate and internationally.Through Project Live, an immersive virtual environment, you will experience field trips in an entirely new way. In this unique environment, youll access remote drone photogrammetry, gigapixel photography, 360-degree panoramic photos and videos, virtual reality platforms using mobile and headset technology to analyse imagery and data relevant to your studies in environmental and/or geospatial sciences.This degree has a highly supportive learning environment, with dedicated, internationally experienced staff. Our world-class facilities at Mawson Lakes such as the multi-million dollar Materials and Minerals Science Learning and Research Hub offer an inspiring environment for collaborative learning, innovation, sustainability and excellence.If you have genuine concern for the environment and a commitment to sustainability, a degree in Environmental Science can help to launch your career.You will do hands-on field work in the natural environment as you learn biology, soil science, ecology, conservation and geology. Field work can range from exploring the campus to visiting Hallett Cove, Second Valley, Arkaroola in the Flinders Ranges, or even a trip up north to look at arid species.Your learning will cover ecology, soil science, geography and social sciences. To develop strong skills in an area that interests you, you will study a minor in Community Engagement and Sustainability or Biodiversity and Earth Systems.Through Project Live, well provide you with access to cutting-edge digital imagery from your own local environments and further afield, along with tools to process and evaluate this data to critically assess its meaning. From aerial imagery of erosion patterns along the South Australian coastline and ancient landforms in central Australia, to infra-red surveys of vegetation health in Barossa Valley vineyards and satellite monitoring of ice sheet stability in Antarctica, this imagery will give you hands on experience in data creation and manipulation and help you become familiar with the latest digital imaging, mapping and spatial analysis techniques.<br><br>Career outcomes -:<br><br>ranger: managing natural values (making sure the natural environment and cultural sites are protected), managing visitor services (helping visitors to enjoy and understand parks and reserves), extensive planning, researching, strategic thinking and people management to effectively balance conservation and recreational values of parks and reserves<br>environmental adviser (construction): offering environmental support to construction sites, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations, helping to achieve environmental targets (e.g. sending zero waste to landfill), liaising with site teams, the client, stakeholders and other environmental teams<br>land management officer: engaging with land managers to continuously improve management of their land and water through a whole of landscape approach to natural resources management, contributing to the operational management of parks and reserves, delivering on-ground works, community events, activities and minor projects
