Resources and Environmental Science Program in China

1. Introduction

Resources and Environmental Science is a comprehensive discipline that applies the rational use of resources and environmental protection into the field of production and environmental construction from the ecological point of view.

2. Training Objectives

The program mainly cultivates senior science and technology talents with the basic theoretical knowledge of modern biology and ecological environment science, remote sensing and information technology of ecological agriculture resources and the practical ability of providing technical support for sustainable development, can be engaged in the frontier of resources and environment science field to undertake innovative research and management.

3. Training Requirements

The students should master the basic theory of resources and environment science, familiar with the soil and water resources and environmental conditions; can conduct qualitative and quantitative analysis and evaluation on the quality of resources and environment; master the techniques and methods of improving resource use efficiency like water, nutrient and organisms; learn to use information technology for macro management and decision-making like high efficient utilization of resource, environmental protection and prevention of degradation.

The students mainly study the basic theory, basic knowledge of resources and environment and urban rural planning and management, receive the training in the scientific thinking and scientific experiment of basic research application and applied research, with good scientific literacy and primary skills of teaching, research, high efficient and sustainable utilization of resources, resource development, effectively protecting the environment and resource environment management and planning.
