Landscape patterns and land use change are important components for understanding ecological processes affecting biodiversity and ecosystem functions and services. The program builds on our research strengths in applied historical ecology, landscape analysis and resource management, linking community ecology with restoration and management of both terrestrial and marine environments.

Master's Programme in Landscape Ecology

 

Analyzing the Earth’s landscapes, landforms, and sediments, you learn about climate and environmental changes and acquire useful transferable skills. Allows for specializations towards glaciology and polar environments, and climate reconstruction and modelling.
