Water is essential to all life on earth. This unit provides foundational knowledge for students wishing to move into aquatic resource management, research and consultancy fields. Students will be introduced to the physical and chemical processes that support aquatic ecosystems. Practical experience in a range of water and sediment sampling and analysis techniques is provided.
All students must attend a compulsory 5-day field and lab intensive block run in Darwin. During the intensive, students will have an opportunity to carry out sampling design activities in the field and analyses of samples in the laboratory.
