Environmental Monitoring and Modelling - Environmental Management Systems

Overview:

Introduction:

This course is designed for professionals in the environmental field who want to gain a comprehensive understanding of the tools and techniques used in environmental monitoring, modeling, and the implementation of environmental management systems (EMS). Participants will learn about the latest methods and technologies for monitoring and assessing environmental conditions, as well as the principles and best practices of an effective EMS. By the end of the course, participants will have the skills and knowledge to effectively manage environmental risks and impacts and ensure compliance with relevant regulations and standards.

Course Objectives:

At the end of this course, the participants will learn about:

  • Understand the principles and practices of environmental monitoring and modelling
  • Learn how to collect, analyze, and interpret environmental data
  • Understand the components and requirements of an EMS and how to implement one
  • Learn how to use an EMS to identify and manage environmental impacts
  • Understand how to measure and report on the performance of an EMS
