Global Mountain Geographies (core)
Semester one
Module Leader: Dr Rosalind Bryce
This module provides an interdisciplinary foundation in mountain geographies, equipping students with the knowledge and perspectives to understand the biophysical and social dynamics of mountain areas in a global context. This will allow students to apply analytical approaches to support sustainable development in mountain areas, through a comprehensive understanding of the complex interactions at different spatial scales and in different geographic contexts.
This module is a foundation for all aspects of the MSc, designed to ensure broad understanding of the various elements of the environmental and societal systems of mountain areas, at the global scale. The integrated understanding of these elements and their interactions is an essential basis for all aspects of sustainable mountain development, which relates to not only mountain areas, but also regions downstream.
This module enables students to develop their knowledge and understanding of montane environmental and societal systems.
