Aquatic Conservation, Ecology and Restoration MSc

Students focus on integrated freshwater and coastal systems. Distinctive features include: integration of aquatic ecology with hydro-geomorphology, aquatic landscape ecology, restoration ecology and rewilding, public engagement, citizen science and science communication, analysis of sediment cores for environmental change reconstruction, design of aquatic monitoring programmes and modelling of aquatic system dynamics. Students come away with a sound and critical knowledge of current-day links between aquatic science, legislation and practical conservation and restoration.
