Overview

To tackle environmental issues on both a local and global scale, we must understand the Earth system – our geology, ecosystems, atmosphere and oceans - and how human activities like natural resource use and intensive farming, influence this.

The location near Northumberland provides the ideal setting for hands-on experience. You'll have access to forests and coasts combined with a rich industrial history.
