Undergraduate Certificate in Antarctic and Climate Science
University of Tasmania - Online
Overview
Developed by researchers at the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS), and climate science experts at the University of Tasmania, your studies span cross disciplinary themes with a strong focus on climate change, marine ecosystems and ocean and Antarctic governance.
The Undergraduate Certificate in Antarctic and Climate Science will introduce you to the study of global climate change, highlighting the challenges facing society due to human impact on our marine and Antarctic environments.
Tasmania is a global centre for scientific research, governance and logistical support for Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. This course leverages these strengths to provide you with essential knowledge and understanding of the treaties and laws that govern Antarctica, shaping the future of our oceans and the Antarctic Region.
Your studies can literally be the tip of the iceberg in this fascinating area of science, environment and law. You'll discover the values of marine ecosystems and their greatest threats, learn about current climate change impacts on biodiversity and human systems, and understand the effect of southern high-latitude regions on the Earth’s climate, oceans and weather.
After completing this course, you will understand and be able to communicate the drivers and influence of climate change on society, marine ecosystems and the Antarctic.
