Students undertake and experience the process of conducting an independent research investigation integrating field, laboratory and computational methods. Each year, 5 different projects are offered; each project is supervised by a member of staff and can be done by 4 to 5 students. Although some aspects of the project work may be conducted as a group (e.g., data gathering during fieldwork), each student completes their own literature review, laboratory experiments, synthesis of data, computational work and write-up. This unit is available only to Single Honours Environmental Geoscientists.
