Land rehabilitation is a process requiring a range of scientific and management skills.
Of particular importance are the rehabilitation of disturbed environments such as mine sites, contaminated land, urban land and wetlands. Land rehabilitation encompasses land, soil and water management, geology and geography. It is based on a deep understanding of landscape processes and assesses and solves real world problems. This course will provide you with the necessary skills to manage the restoration of damaged environments and to monitor environments during their restoration.
