Responding to land cover transformations
Senior students will
conduct a field study (for assessment purposes) to collect primary data for investigating a land or water management challenge on a local scale at Nudgee Beach.
Nudgee Beach EEC Centre staff will set the scene for the day delivering a history of the local area and highlighting the
geographical processes, natural (sand movement)
and anthropogenic (urbanisation – Brisbane airport and Port construction),
that have resulted in change to Earth’s land cover and climate change and the resulting impacts and challenges posed in the local Nudgee Beach
area of Moreton Bay.
Students will then choose a challenge to focus on and select the methodology for their primary data collection in the field.
