EVST20009 Thinking Systemically and Sustainably

Course details

This course will investigate the composition of the natural resource base, the impact of human activity on that resource base, and the interrelationship between the resources, their use and the outcomes as desired by humans. A series of case studies, ranging in scale from the household to nationwide, will be used to illustrate the principles upon which resilience in production and other systems is achieved. Once this course is completed, the student will have a broad appreciation of the balances underpinning both temporal and spatial variation in sustainability, and human efforts to control those.
