This module will enable students to link ecological knowledge to decision making by integrating ecology with the sociological and political contexts that underlie today's complex environmental issues.

We will discuss in depth how translational ecology directly serves the needs of natural resource managers and decision makers for real world outcomes. The module will include a series of local and international guest speakers who are scientists, practitioners and decision makers. It will be case study and  problem focussed addressing research questions and tackling them from the bottom up rather than top down, expert perspectives in order to understand how we can improve decision making for the future of environmental management and conservation.

Welcome to the PGR Moodle. This page serves as your central hub throughout your studies here at Essex.

We have pages full of information that will be useful to you, and includes links to all things related to PGR studies, whether that's progress boards, the Graduate Forum, GLA information etc.
