Students gain experience of field research within a variety of taxonomic groups, habitats, locations - from the mountains to the sea. Students will learn how to translate theoretical understanding of monitoring to practical action, tackling complex issues to enable successful monitoring programmes. Through partnering with relevant organisations, students will achieve hands-on experience of current practices and innovative technologies. Students will carry out physical and chemical ecosystem assessments to support determination of ecosystem health. Students will also learn the importance of stakeholder consultation and the processes involved, with a focus on the principles of the Te Tiriti o Waitangi in utilising culturally appropriate ecosystem monitoring using tools such as the Māori Cultural Health indicator. These skills provide students with a pathway to undertake further research and boost employability.
