Intended Learning OutcomesThe aim of the module is to inform on the importance of a geography degree leading to a career. At the end of the module,students will be able to demonstrate the following:1. Demonstrate an awareness of the concept of employability. Use this awareness to work on developing their ownset of achievements and skills, understandings and personal attributes that make them more likely to gainemployment and be successful in their chosen occupations.2. Identify opportunities to gain work experience, and maximise their own ability to achieve this within anappropriate context.3. Understand the job market for geography graduates, in public, private and voluntary sectors.4. Produce a high-class CV and covering letter, and demonstrate confident interview skills (preparation andpresentation).5. Demonstrate an awareness of subject-specific (sustainability, spatial awareness, social environmental) and othertransferable skills (leadership, professional report writing, enterprise, proactivity) gained during their degree, and beable to reflect on and identify any skills gaps that can be addressed.

Intended Learning OutcomesPerform practical field measurement techniques on an range of environmental variables (e.g. elevation, soil and airtemperature, relative humidity and vegetation density), such that you will be equipped to use these methods independentlywithin subsequent projects/dissertations.

Building on lab techniques undertaken in year 1, perform a wider and deeper range of analytical laboratory techniquesrelevant to soils, sediments and water, such that independent laboratory analysis can be undertaken in subsequent projects/dissertations.

Handle large and complex data sets within appropriate software frameworks (e.g. Excel or Minitab).Perform exploratory analyses and synthesise data sets with increased depth, gained largely through practical experience oftheoretical constructs taught within Year 1 but also by practical exposure to new methods

Adopt appropriate methodological strategies for the quantitative analysis and interpretation of geographical data.

Abstract key information from reports and synthesise summaries in a concise and precise manner.

Take increasing control of and responsibility for your own learning.

This will include the ability to:(a) describe in both theoretical and empirical terms the relationships between place and identity(b) reflect critically on their own identities and the ways in which these are spatialised(c) identify and explain how geographers have contributed to understandings of identity(d) reflect critically on the complex and contested ways in which identities are represented, performed and experienced

Teaching and Learning MethodsLectures; Tutorials; Seminars; Surgery; Directed Reading

Assessment MethodsThere are two pieces of assessment for this module:

The field report will take the form of a 'reflective diary'. Students will choose an aspect of identity that matters to them, andwrite diary entries about its significance. They will also undertake background research regarding the 'representation' of thataspect (e.g. leisure pursuit, lifestyle, commodity). Finally, they will reflect upon the appropriateness of different conceptualapproaches to identities to their chosen case study.

They will also have a choice of written reports covering a range of topics addressed through the module.

Intended Learning OutcomesAt the end of this module, typical students should be able to:

1. Describe the basic principles of radar remote sensing.2. Compare and contrast the information acquired by radar satellites and terrestrial and airborne laser scanners with satellitesacquiring data in optical/near infrared wavelengths.3. Demonstrate competence in visualizing and manipulating several satellite image data sets using dedicated imageprocessing software (ERDAS Imagine). Students will be able to undertake image classifications, geometric corrections (tomap coordinates), filtering of data, and contrast enhancements to enable them to interpret and understand geographicalphenomena.4. Evaluate the appropriateness of a particular satellite data set to address a range of different applications in terms of spatialand temporal scale, spectral criteria, and understanding of the processes acting on the application being investigated.5. Gain awareness, through demonstration, of the terrestrial LiDAR scanning process.

Intended Learning OutcomesAt the end of this module students should be able to:

Demonstrate an understanding of the processes controlling surface and groundwater quality – particularly when thesesystems receive point- and diffuse-source pollution.

Demonstrate an awareness of water quality standards for different water uses (e.g. drinking water, ecological quality) and ofthe legal frameworks within which such standards are applied. Design appropriate water quality sampling strategies, select sample locations, take samples correctly, conduct standard testsand evaluate the results.

Apply and correctly interpret simple water quality models for assessing pollutant concentrations in surface waters receivingwaste water from point sources.

Identify appropriate management strategies which can be applied to different pollutant types and demonstrate anunderstanding of why different approaches are required for different pollutants.
