METEOROLOGY AND CLIMATOLOGY
A subject of one term's duration, comprising three 1-hour lectures, one 2-hour labor- atory class and one 1-hour tutorial/seminar class a week, together with approximately 20 hours of field activities.
Prerequisite: Credit of 6 points in Geography at Group 1 level including Geography Al (19761, or approved equivalent studies
SYLLABUS
The subject is concerned with analysis of the spatial organisation of weather and climate patterns at both the macro-climatic and micro-climatic scales, and with interpretation of these patterns in terms of relevant meteorological processes.
At the macro-climatic scale the subject examines global aspects of energy, moisture and atmospheric motion. Selected areas are then investigated at a micro-climatic scale, in relation to the modification of climate caused by man or other animals, and plants. The subject includes a study of climatic variability, past and present climatic trends and climate fluctuations.

RECREATIONAL GEOGRAPHY
A subject of one term's duration, comprising two 1-hour lectures and one 2-hour seminar a week in addition to 30 hours of project work. The project work will include up to 20 hours of field activities.
Prerequisite: Credit of 6 points in Geography at the Group 1 level, or an approved equivalent
SYLLABUS
The subject is concerned with the complex interrelationships between the demand for, and supply of, recreational opportunities.
171
It begins with an analysis of the social forces which influence the availability of leisure time, patterns of recreational activity and the demands made by society for recreational opportunities. Attention is then focused on recreational resources, including user-oriented facilities, intermediate-type recreation areas and resource- based recreational areas. Finally, through an analysis of various recreation planning strategies adopted in Australia, the United States, Canada and Britain, the student is introduced to methods by which increasing demands for outdoor recreational opportunities may be effected with minimum impact on the environment.

AQUATIC SYSTEMS: A GEOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS
A subject of one term's duration, comprising three 1-hour lectures, one 1-hour seminar and one 2-hour laboratory class a week, together with approximately 30 hours of field activities.
Prerequisite: Credit of 6 points in Geography at Group 1 level including Geography A6, or approved equivalent studies
SYLLABUS
The subject is designed for students in the environmental science program, and seeks to relate to studies in ecology, plant and animal biology, chemistry, physics and geology undertaken in other sections of that program.
The subject is an analysis of human impact on the spatial organisation of selected components of aquatic systems. Particular attention is given to estuaries and to other systems characterised by a high intensity of interaction between men and aquatic environment.
The subject covers a series of interrelated topics, including the spatial and ecological effects of domestic sewage, agriculture and forestry, industrial wastes, engineering projects and recreation on estuaries and other aquatic systems.
