My last subject for my Masters starts this week – the Graduate Seminar of Environmental Science. It sort of brings together all the skills that we have hopefully learnt to date, as each week a student leads the class in analysing a topic concerning environmental science. This brings together the critical analysis of a subject, the in depth thinking, a lot of modelling and statistics and numbers, being able to structure an argument, backing it up with previous work, and then expanding on the ideas introduced. Many of the subjects I have taken have introduced small nuggets of wisdom to help wade through the often choppy waters of science, especially when dealing with the environment. So it should be rather fun, as we expand our knowledge and test our pre conceived biases. As usual, we get to choose our own topics, so I’m thinking of a tree related piece, maybe something that covers some research derived from work to support the proposal of the Great Forest National Park…..
