Principles, applications and implications of ecological knowledge are explored in this unit which covers the science of ecology and current concepts about how natural systems are organised. Global and Australian examples are used. The central theme is how processes operating in nature produce patterns in ecosystems, and how these processes both facilitate and constrain the interactions between humankind and the planet. Note: permission to complete the unit without completion of GSE803 as a prerequisite will only be granted if the student has completed a science-based degree. -- Course Website
