Grand Geoenvironmental Challenges: will provide you with a physical, chemical and geological understanding of the grand geoenvironmental challenges humankind currently faces, including: sustainable mining, sustainable development, critical metals/minerals, soil and water contamination, climate change, geomorphology change, land cover change and geohazards. A series of introductory lectures will provide you with a mechanistic overview of the occurrence and history of such challenges, along with the state-of-the-art with regard to how they can be overcome/mitigated in the future. You will then produce a verbal presentation and a scientific review paper on a topic of your choice. An understanding of the Earth system is required for this module including its recent geological past and how such systems have changed since the onset of the Anthropocene.
