Master of Environmental Geospatial Science

University of Tasmania (UTAS)

Environmental challenges are becoming increasingly complex, and problems like bushfire management and climate change require highly skilled professionals. Environmental professionals need to be able to analyse a variety of information, including mapped data, to adapt to current crises. Business as usual is becoming increasingly data-rich, and Tasmania’s Land Information System puts us in the fortunate position of being able to use geospatial information for many planning and day-to-day decisions across a wide range of sectors. This course will teach you to integrate geospatial and environmental knowledge to make practical recommendations for enhancing decisions around places, from predominantly natural to highly urban. The unique combination of environmental and geospatial skills in a pragmatic, case-based learning environment will prepare graduates well for an exciting career. You will apply skills in geographical information systems and remote sensing to address complex problems associated with managing ecosystems and fostering sustainable practices. These skills are in high demand by government and industry employers, and you will benefit from our close connections with the profession and work-integrated learning.
