Learning Pathways - Water & Soil Resources
Description
The Water and Soil Resources pathway focuses on the complex interplay between water and soil and the effect global change is having on their sustainable use. Water and soil resources are rapidly becoming the environmental issues of the next century as they both respond to multiple stressors on their use that include climate change, population growth, land use changes and environmental pollution. To be leaders in this field one must have baseline of skills that include a knowledge base in the physical, chemical and biological processes at play in these environments and the policies that govern their sustainable use and development.
