This course focus on the different processes of the global water cycle, the challenges in better understanding and adapting to the impact of climate change on water for the future and the flows of water and sand in different riverine, coastal and ocean systems. It also covers how to identify mechanisms of climate change and explain the interplay of climate change, sea level, clouds, and rainfall.
Assessment
This course does not involve any written exams. Students need to answer 5 assignment questions to complete the course, the answers will be in the form of written work in pdf or word. Students can write the answers in their own time. Each answer needs to be 200 words (1 Page). Once the answers are submitted, the tutor will check and assess the work.
