Lernergebnisse

To develop an understanding and skills to analyze, assess, and manage biotic and abiotic environmental resources in urban areas and urban surroundings. To deepen the competences related to scientific research, writing, and presentation. To provide the theoretical basis for the module "Environmental Resources in Urban Regions"

Lehrinhalte

"Introduction to Urban Ecosystem Sciences: Theory & Practice" will examine the feedbacks between urbanization and environmental change at local, regional, and global scales. It will consolidate knowledge scattered in different disciplines embracing urban areas such as ecology, meteorology, biogeochemistry, hydrology, environmental history, and industrial ecology in order to provide a big picture of how urbanization changes climate as well as natural flows of energy, water, carbon, and nutrients. This knowledge provides foundation necessary to explore interdisciplinary strategies for building design and urban planning minimizing adverse effects of urbanization on environment and urban dwellers. Biotic and abiotic environmental resources of urban areas and their footprints will be investigated and analysed in "Science of environmental resources in urban regions" (IV). The course "Research strategies and methods in environmental sciences"(IV) provides an overview of environmental research methods.

Beschreibung der Lehr- und Lernformen

The module consists of three parts, which are offered as integrated courses including lectures, discussions, and student presentations. In the seminar "Introduction to Urban Ecosystem Sciences: Theory & Practice" the theoretical foundations for understanding interactions between cities and environment will be provided and discussed. Topics will include urbanization in the context of historical environmental changes, modern urbanization trends, the urban heat island, urban biogeochemistry, air pollution, nature-based solutions in cities as well as climate change and its feedbacks with urban areas. The guided tours will supplement the theory and demonstrate various solutions to mitigating the impact of a city on the environment such as reducing energy consumption in buildings, various efforts towards increasing urban vegetation cover and reducing heat island effect, etc. In the course "Science of environmental resources in urban regions" students actively develop their own scientific questions, conduct research to solve them, and present their results in form of a scientific paper and presentation. The course "Research strategies and methods in environmental sciences" builds upon the introductory lectures on the scientific methodology in the environmental sciences and on students' contributions such as research proposals on their own topics, consultations with faculty members, and a presentation.
