It also aims to develop a range of transferable research, analytical and communication skills including the capacity to:

  • understand how the terrestrial hydrological systems operate
  • have a broad interdisciplinary knowledge in this field
  • apply the scientific method to explore problems of relevance to this discipline
  • use a range of analytical methods, including computer software to analyse relevant data
  • contribute to an advance of knowledge in this discipline.

The educational aims of this major are to provide students with an overview of processes that determine the source, amount and flows of water in the environment with a particular focus on aspects relating to water problems facing Australia.

Learning outcomes

After completion of the major students will be able to:

  • demonstrate a comprehensive knowledge of relevance to the discipline
  • understand and apply the scientific method
  • critically review and interpret scientific information
  • develop scientific hypotheses
  • communicate their findings to a variety of audiences in written and spoken form
