Description:
Research projects are among the core components of many
undergraduate and Masters degrees within environmental science and
physical geography, and students  increasingly undertake
courses in quantitative research methodology before starting on
their own assignment. This one-stop-shop text guides students
through their research project from the initial stages of
choosing a suitable topic, of conducting the relevant experiments
and interpreting the data, through to effective presentation of the
results.


Takes a case-study approach to illustrate the range of
environmental science topics, with cases supplied by specialists in
the field.

Practical worked examples and self-assessment
tasks illustrate key statistical and mathematical points so as
to keep heavy theory to a minimum

Covers software such as Excel, SPSS and mathematical modelling,
and includes statistical tables
