Prerequisites
Students are preferably expected to hold an undergraduate degree in fields related to environmental sciences, biology, geography, Earth and marine sciences, or ecology. However, students with a background in social or political sciences are also welcome, provided they have a basic understanding of Earth and physical science principles.
A reasonable level of English proficiency, both spoken and written, is recommended to successfully follow the course content and participate in discussions.
Objectives and Contextualisation
Objectives and Contextualization
Understanding the biological, physical, and social processes related to Global Change, and their complex interactions, represents one of today’s most pressing scientific and societal challenges. This complexity is compounded by the urgent need to develop effective solutions to mitigate the negative impacts of these changes.
This course examines the diverse impacts of Global Change across various spatial and temporal scales, with a primary focus on both terrestrial and marine ecosystems, as well as the effects on human societies and the corresponding social responses.
Course Objectives
By the end of the course, students will be able to:
- Identify different types of impacts associated with Global Change.
- Explore the wide range of spatial and temporal scales at which Global Change occurs.
- Consider additional driving forces that interact with Global Change processes.
- Analyze manifestations of Global Change in both terrestrial and marine systems, including biodiversity loss, disruptions to the global carbon cycle, ecosystem degradation, and land-use changes.
- Evaluate various approaches to addressing Global Change through case studies of protected areas such as biosphere reserves, marine protected areas, marine restoration projects, and rural landscapes.

Assessment
Continous Assessment Activities
| Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Class assignments | 20% | 0 | 0 | 4, 3, 7 |
| Final Exam | 50% | 3 | 0.12 | 2, 6, 1 |
| Two oral presentations | 30% | 3 | 0.12 | 5, 4, 6, 1, 3, 7 |
Requirements for Assessment
Assessment of learning is based on the results of practical assignments completed independently. At least 80% of these assignments must be submitted within the deadlines established by the instructor. Students who have not submitted the required assignments by the specified deadlines will not be allowed to take the exam, and their final grade will be recorded as “Not Assessable.”
Attendance will be monitored for both theoretical and practical classes. To be eligible for assessment, students must attend at least 80% of the scheduled sessions. Otherwise, the final grade will be recorded as “Not Assessable.” Additionally, students who pass the course and have met the minimum attendance requirement will receive a 5% bonus on their final grade.
Assessment activities
The final mark will be the weighted average of the following assessments:
|
Type |
Grade percentage (%) |
Comments |
|
Oral presentations |
30 |
Two oral presentations (15% each one) covering Terrestrial and Marine Global Change |
|
Class assignments |
20 |
One class assignment covering Terrestrial Globa Change |
|
Final test |
50 |
3-hour test covering most aspects of the course but Forest Health. In this case a take-home test will be provided. |
If a student fails to achieve at least 40% in any of the individual assessment components -namely oral presentations (12%), class assignments (8%), or the final test (20%)- they will be required to retake the specific component(s) to be eligible to pass the subject. In such cases, the student will be contacted to arrange a new submission date or test session and the maximum grade for any resubmitted work is 5. Additionally, to pass the subject overall, the student must obtain a minimum of 50% in the final grade.
IMPORTANT:
- Final Exam Format: In the final exam, students will be provided with limited space to answer each question. Responses must demonstrate a clear understanding and mastery of the key concepts and ideas introduced throughout the course.
- Field Trip: A field trip to the Montseny Natural Park and Biosphere Reserve will be organized to explore the local impacts of Global Change in a Mediterranean landscape. Students are required to wear appropriate clothing and footwear suitable for outdoor activities.
- Class Participation: Attendance and active participation in class sessions will be considered when evaluating students’ overall performance.
IRREGULARITIES BY THE STUDENT, COPYING AND PLAGIARISM
Assessment activities evaluated under this procedure are non-recoverable. If passing any of these activities is required to pass the subject, failure due to academic misconduct will result in automatic failure ofthe subject, with no opportunity for recovery within the same academic year.
The following are considered serious irregularities, among others:
- Copying, in whole or in part, any practice, report, or other assessment activity.
- Allowing others to copy your assessment work.
- Submitting group work that was not fully completed by all listed group members.
- Presenting work prepared by a third party on your own, including translations, adaptations, or any content not original and exclusive to the student.
- Possessing or using communication devices (e.g., mobile phones, smartwatches) during individual theoretical or practical assessments (e.g., exams).
In accordance with current academic regulations, and without prejudice to any additional disciplinary actions, any irregularity that may affect the integrity of the evaluation process will result in a grade of zero (0) for the affected activity.
ASSESSMENT POLICY FOR REPEATING AND CURRENT STUDENTS
If a student from a previous edition of the Master’s program is repeating the course, their previous grades for the course’s practical components will not be retained.
If a current student does not pass the course, he/she will be required to retake the failed components. In such cases, the final grade for those components will be capped at 5.
ACCESS TO ONLIE CAMPUS COMPUTERS
If you are unable or prefer not to install the GIS software on your personal computer (for example, if you use Mac, Linux, or do not have a suitable device), you can access the software remotely through UAB’s online campus computers at:
https://sidciencies.uab.cat/sidcib/#acces_remot_aules
Choose: PC1D x Windowsor PC4 x Lynux
USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted in this course as part of completing assignments, provided the result reflects a significant personal contribution from the student in terms of analysis and critical reflection. Students must: (i) identify which parts have been generated using AI; (ii) specify the tools used; and (iii) include a critical reflection on how these tools have influenced the process and the outcome of the assignment. Failure to be transparent about the use of AI in assessable activities will be considered academic misconduct and will result in a grade of zero for the affected work, with no opportunity for recovery, or even more severe penalties in cases of serious breaches.
