Environmental Hazards and Disasters

• Examine the issues caused by sudden, extreme changes to the environment and communities.
• Through disaster case studies, lab, field studies, and work experience, you will learn to understand, process, and analyse information relevant to an actual hazard or disaster situation.
• Use modern tools like geospatial analysis and GIS to map out disaster effects, forecast data, and create response plans.
• The Bachelor of Environmental Science with Honours is accredited by the Environment Institute of Australia and New Zealand (EIANZ) to deliver environmental practitioners for roles in industry, government, education and research, and the community.

Your studies will give you technical skills in data modelling and assessment, in addition to understanding the science behind disasters and hazards.

Some career pathways could include:

• Crisis and emergency response
• Urban resilience planning
• Geospatial mapping
• Government and policy.
