MSc Water and Planetary Health
This programme focuses on the emerging field of planetary health, and is designed to equip students with a comprehensive understanding of climate change, global population dynamics, and human and ecosystem health. It includes advanced interdisciplinary learning in all aspects of water and planetary health and is delivered by award-winning staff from Lincoln Centre for Water and Planetary Health (LCWPH).
Students can learn from and work with world-leading researchers to assess the impacts of local to global scale challenges within fresh and coastal water systems. Particular emphasis is placed on interactions among human, ecosystem, and planetary health. Students have the opportunity to develop management, mitigation, and adaptation strategies to address issues resulting from climate, environmental, and socio-economic change.
Lincoln Centre for Water and Planetary Health focuses on solving the most pressing global environmental and societal problems emerging from the world’s largest rivers. These include climate change impacts on extreme floods and droughts, flood-related contamination from metal mining and processing, and waterborne and vector-borne diseases affecting humans and animals where riverine environments provide the principal habitat.
