In 2007 the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded that "warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global mean sea level." Representing a consensus of hundreds of scientists, the report went on to note that human activity is "very likely" the cause.

The Undergraduate Advanced Diploma in Historic Environment is a part-time research-based course which offers students the opportunity to undertake supervised independent study over two academic years, culminating in a dissertation of 10, 000-12, 000 words. Students choose their own research topic and the research proposal is considered when they apply. The format of the course, requiring just seven visits to Cambridge over the two-year period of the course, makes it accessible to students from across the UK and beyond.

This degree program will produce high-quality graduates with the theoretical knowledge and practical and skills required for employment in fields related to environmental monitoring and management, and ecologically sustainable development. Students will develop a wide range of skills through a combination of theoretical and practical work, including applied problem-solving, communication and teamwork. The program combines the insights of the chemical/biological sciences with those of the humanities/social sciences and other disciplines.

The degree program aims to produce high quality graduates with the advanced theoretical knowledge and practical skills necessary for further research or employment in the field of specialisation. In the first year of the program, students develop a broad foundation in biology, chemistry and environmental science and the opportunity to develop practical skills in scientific investigation. Students then build on this foundation with advanced courses in their area of specialisation which enables them to pursue a wide range of career options.

Famed physicist Richard Feynman once said, "Anyone who has been in a thunderstorm has enjoyed it, or has been frightened by it, or at least has had some emotion. And in those places in nature where we get an emotion, we find there is generally a corresponding complexity and mystery about it."
