Presentation transcript:

School of Earth and Environment Studying Environmental Science BSc Dr Steven Dobbie Image: NASA

What is Environmental Science? Understanding the complexity of the Earth’s environment. Physical, biological and chemical processes at within the “Earth system”.

BSc Environmental Conservation Earth System Approach Learn about the science behind the complexity of the Earth's environment...... Human Influence Atmosphere Hydrosphere Biosphere Geosphere

Environmental Science at Leeds A science degree that applies you interest in science to real-world, topical problems. Taught by world-leading experts across a broad range of science areas. Ideal for those interested in pursuing careers in environmental sector and in areas where a science degree is a big advantage.

Biosphere Biological processes in the Earth’s living skin Food production, ecosystems & habitat preservation, life through Earth history, biogeochemical processes Annual changes in global chlorophyll (NASA landsat images)

Hydrosphere Global water cycle and water provision Water management & pollution, heat transport, the oceans, mariculture, coastal seas, oceanography and climate change The Gulf Stream – a river of heat in the ocean

Geosphere Solid Earth Processes Raw materials and fossil fuel resources Need to understand Earth’s past to predict future Impacts of earthquake and volcanic activity Model of energy release on the San Andreas Fault

Atmosphere Atmospheric Science and Meteorology Extreme weather and flooding, air pollution, global climate system Model prediction of global-scale pollution transport Lin Zhang

Human Influence Environmental Management Systems Environmental policy and protection, future energy strategies, clean-up and development, legal issues Aral Sea 2000-2009 (Images: NASA)

Field and Laboratory Activities Fieldtrips allow a hands-on approach to learning

Field and Laboratory Activities Learn by doing! Develop skills in making own measurements, interpreting data, critical analysis and drawing conclusions.
