SCENV3120 Landscape Restoration and Mine Site Rehabilitation

This unit explores the ecological and philosophical basis of restoration and mined land rehabilitation. This is achieved by consideration of significant ecological problems needing active restoration (such as mined landscapes, salinity, erosion, habitat loss, weeds, bush encroachment). Other key elements of restoration are explored such as political programs relevant to restoration and mined land rehabilitation (such as Landcare plans, catchment nutrient and salinity plans, and State of the Environment reporting), planning of restoration and mine site projects (including objectives, strategies, budgeting), restoration and rehabilitation: funding opportunities and requirements, monitoring and management of restoration and rehabilitation efforts (mine site rehabilitation and habitat restoration efforts) and legislation and governance (federal, state and local; international agreements and obligations) relating to landscape restoration and mine site rehabilitation. Restoration and rehabilitation in the face of current and projected climate change also receives attention.

Domestic postgraduate tuition fees are course-based annual fees, which means individual unit fees vary according to the degree.
