Requirements
~ There are no special requirements
although some knowledge of
environmental chemistry and ecology
is useful.
~ A good grasp of complex ecosystem
relationships is necessary
Learning outcomes
~ After completing this module you should
know: The historical and conceptual
background on Eutrophication in both
freshwater and marine waters. The aim is
to provide an understanding of the
alterations in the nutrient cycles of aquatic
ecosystems within a societal and global
~ After completing this module you should be
able to: Assess the causes and
consequences of eutrophication in an
aquatic ecosystem and communicate this to
stakeholders
Other skills
You will also develop skills in
communicating science such as
~ Preparing Material for Informing the
Public, such as a press article
