Modiwl BSX-3150:
Life in a Changing Climate

Ffeithiau’r Modiwl

Rhedir gan School of Natural Sciences

20.000 Credyd neu 10.000 Credyd ECTS

Semester 2

Trefnydd: Dr Alison Cameron

Amcanion cyffredinol

The purpose of this module is to allow students to develop a detailed understanding of the scientific principles underlying how a changing climate can affect aspects of zoology. This includes evolution, ethology, phenology, physiology, species distributions and patterns in biodiversity. It will provide students with an understanding of ecological concepts and how they may be affected by climate change, such as trophic cascades.

Cynnwys cwrs

The course will cover how climate change and aspects of zoology and biodiversity are connected and how they interact. Social implications of these factors will also be covered, along with potential ecosystem conservation and management practices needed to cope with a changing climate. Some ecosystem case studies will be included, for example on the effects of climate change on wetlands.

Meini Prawf

ardderchog

An excellent student should have a high levels of detailed factual knowledge across all aspects of the module, and be able to detail examples where appropriate. Written answers should demonstrate an ability to think critically about the subject and to synthesise lecture material and information from extensive background reading. Practical reports should display a high level of critical understanding of data, analysis, interpretation and presentation.

trothwy

A threshold student should have a basic knowledge of the essential facts and key concepts presented in the module. Written answers should demonstrate an ability to organise relevant lecture material into a coherent argument. Practical reports should demonstrate a basic ability to analyse data and interpret and present results.

da

A good student should have thorough factual knowledge across all aspects of the module, and be able to name examples where appropriate. Written answers should demonstrate an ability to think about the subject and to synthesise lecture material and some information from background reading. Practical reports should display a good level of understanding of data, analysis, interpretation and presentation.

Canlyniad dysgu

  1. Explain in detail how aspects of zoology and biodiversity are affected by the climate, and the interactions between them.

  2. Critically evaluate any social implications current interactions between zoology and climate change are having, and could have in the future.

  3. Have a comprehensive understanding of the conservation and management practises of natural ecosystems – in terms of aspects of zoology – to cope with a changing climate.

  4. Demonstrate the ability to articulate complex scientific principles, theories and arguments through a variety of media.

CYFLWYNIAD GRWP Group Debate Exercise

I have requested time-tabling to schedule the group debates in the week starting 28th March. The exact dates will show on the module time-table when it is released. The purpose of a debate is to argue the "pros" and "cons" of a controversial issue in order to convince an audience or judge that one side of the argument is more logically sound than the other. Each debate group will be composed of a chair and two teams of 4 members (i.e. ideally 9 people in total, though some groups may be of 7). You will be allocated to a debate group and given a topic before the debate preparation session. Debating is a team exercise, so your performance will depend on how well you prepare individually and together. Further to this the performance of the chair and both of the teams (for and against the motion) during the debate will affect how everyone else in the debate performs on the day. So, we expect you to prepare by researching the topic individually and then to work as a group to prepare. Sufficient time has been time-tabled for group preparation, so no group meetings are required outside of these.
We have a tailored assessment form (available on the module BlackBoard site) and a tailored grading strategy (explained in the group debate document on the BlackBoard site).

ARHOLIAD End of Module Exam

This is an open book exam with essay style questions, and must be completed within a 24 hour period. Answer two essay questions from a choice of 4.
Each essay should be a maximum of 1500 words (there is no +/- 10% rule, there is no minium and 1500 is a strict upper limit). Submit the essays the module BlackBoard site, via the Turn-It-In submission point. The CNS essay rubric will be used for marking.

TRAETHAWD Report on UNFCC COP

Essay Title: How effective are the agreements reached at the UNFCC Conference of the Parties ("COP 26") in Glasgow, in 2021, likely to be in limiting global climate change to less than 1.5oC?

1500 word limit. The word limit is a strict 1500 limit (not +/-10%). If you write less than 1500 words you will be graded on the content you have written, if you write more I wont read beyond the 1500 word mark. So please take great care not exceed the word limit. One of the challenges here is to write concisely, to meet the word limit. Your title and reference list do not count towards your word limit. If you chose to include figures the figure legend text does not count - and make sure to indicate the sources of info in figures in the legend text and reference list. In text citations do count towards the word limit, as there is no way they can be separated out in a word count. Please use Harvard referencing style in your in-text citations and your reference list. This will be graded using the CNS Essay Grading Rubic which is available on the module Blackboard site and will be explained in class.
