Cursusdoelen

After successfully finishing the course you are able to:

  1. select a relevant environmental quality assessment systems based on biological data for a given real-life case from nature and environmental management.
  2. interpret the outcome of an environmental assessment system based on biological data for a given real-life case from nature and environmental management.
  3. formulate adequate measures that can enhance or conserve biological quality in different types of systems threatened by anthropogenic activities.
  4. argue in depth how specific ecological feedback mechanisms enhance or decrease the effectiveness of measures applied in nature and environmental management.
Inhoud

The course deals with anthropogenic effects on ecosystems as well as measures to improve environmental and ecological quality. Different restoration measures as well as measures aiming at reducing the anthropogenic impact on specific ecosystems will be discussed. After this course you will oversee the gamut of measures available to enhance or conserve biological quality in terrestrial and aquatic systems. In addition, several biological and environmental quality assessments will be studied.

Bijzonderheden
This course will be taught in English
Toetsinformatie
The final grade is composed of a grade for a written exam (80%), a written group assignment (10%) and an oral presentation (10%). All parts need to be finished with a five and a half (5.5), in order to pass.
Voorkennis
This course is tailored for third year biology / environmental science students. In order to successfully accomplish the course, an adequate starting level is required. This implies that basic biological definitions and principles will not be explained in this course. Students without a biological background will therefore have to put extra effort into the course. Specifically, the student is familiar with ecological, biogeochemical, microbial and physiological basic principles. Additionally, the student has experience in working individually as well as in a team. Presentation skills (both oral and written) will be further developed in the course through a set of assignments.
