  • ENVG 34200: Environmental Change

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    This unit considers environmental change and variability on long- and short-time scales, and how they affect vegetation, soils, landforms, the atmosphere and, increasingly, a great variety of human endeavour. Earth's environments are considered from the earliest times and through to the future. The major causal agents are considered for several periods in Earth's history by examining the evidence and its interpretation. The roles of natural variability, human impact and models for the understanding of processes on the global scale form a major component of the unit. Emphasis is given in lectures to techniques and approaches for investigating change, while the programme of workshops and reading is focused on following scientific debate on key questions, and reporting on expected future climates on important environmental and socioeconomic issues for Australia.

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    Taught at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland as GG 3465 'Costal and Estuarine Dynamics' Estuarine and inter-tidal environments have been foci for human activity for thousands of years. Today, they remain centres of human interest, associated with cities, harbours, industrial complexes, marinas and recreational activities.

    4.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    Taught at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland as GL 3031 ' Structural Geology and Mapwork' This course demonstrates the underlying principles governing the brittle and ductile deformation of rocks. It deals with the conditions of stress and strain that lead to the formation of folds and faults and how these conditions can be determined.

  • ENVG 34444: Environmental Hydrology

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    Host University course number and name University of Western Australia; EART-2251 Environmental Hydrology Course description Outcomes: Students are able to apply knowledge of basic science fundamentals, illustrate in-depth technical competence as well as an expectation of the need to undertake lifelong learning. Content: This unit assists students to understand and describe quantitatively, where appropriate, the land surface component of the hydrological cycle. The unit provides a holistic treatment of the field of surface hydrology with a focus on heterogeneity and variability, multiple-flow pathways and residence times, water balance and scale issues. In particular, the unit illustrates the processes of precipitation, infiltration and run-off generation, groundwater flow and transport, and evapotranspiration and streamflow through exposition of fundamental theories combined with the analysis and interpretation from observed data. In addition to lectures, regular assignments and the use of the computer for data analyses, there are one or two field trips organised to expose students to field situations and approaches to measurements. Assessment: This comprises a final examination, ongoing assignments and reports. Students are assessed on their ability to apply knowledge of basic scientific engineering to clearly defined hydrological problems within a limited timeframe, together with their ability to think clearly, demonstrate understanding, communicate effectively and solve problems. They also demonstrate their ability to apply knowledge of basic hydrological and engineering fundamentals to solve clearly defined problems, and demonstrate independent learning through the reading of additional material outside of the classroom.

  • ENVG 34500: Field Course: Engineering Technical Elective

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    This course presents an innovative approach to education for engineering and science undergraduate students that involves industrial participation through a mini internship. It is not expected that industry shoulder the responsibility of educating our students, but rather that a cooperative agreement be entered into between the student and the company such that the company receives a useful research report and the student gains invaluable field experience. Students will be involved in monitoring responsibilities and/or gathering data relating to operations and ongoing site management, including environmental activities. Students will undertake projects that will be relatively small in scope yet are important to the company but have not been undertaken because of lack of staff availability. Students will be given, where possible, projects in line with their expertise (i.e., engineering, geology, environmental, etc.).
