This unit provides a multidisciplinary focus relating to the links between biota and their response to physical and chemical anthropogenic alteration in the environment. The unit will introduce the conceptual basis for ecotoxicology and ecological risk assessment, including factors that influence toxicity, dose-response relationships, hierarchical effects from the molecular to community levels of biological organisation. Impacts of human activities such as mining, coastal development, waste discharges, and exotic species will be considered in the broader context of a changing climate. Methods for assessing ecological /toxicological risks and identification of impacts will examined through current case studies and applied field/laboratory exercises.
