Field Evidence of Environmental Change (GEOG0176)

This is a field-based module, which centres on how understanding evidence from a range of contemporary sedimentary and depositional environments is needed to contextualise a landscape. The module focuses on obtaining, describing, analysing, and interpreting sedimentary and depositional environments and sequences to understand past environmental change, over different timescales over the Holocene, and the drivers of change. The module examines the value of different sediment classifications, biological indicators, and stratigraphic signatures to interpret past environments and depositional processes and explain the nature of environmental transitions and shifts that are driven by globally-relevant forcing such as climate change, sea-level change, and human interventions and modifications over timescales of centuries to millennia. We will visit a range of coastal, freshwater and terrestrial environments and explore the evidence for change from recent histories to millennial-scale transitions.

Statistical Learning for Public Policy (ECON0127)

This module introduces students to a wide range of statistical methods in data science from classical statistical methods to recent advances in machine learning. The module has a strong practical focus and avoids mathematical arguments where possible. Instead, it will focus on developing a heuristic understanding of the methods and on learning how to apply them to real world data.
