Overview

The programme trains students to collect, document and analyse water, air and soil samples within the context of local watersheds and the regulations that govern them. Work combines outdoor fieldwork with laboratory-based analysis, preparing graduates for roles across industry, government or conservation settings where they monitor and treat waste streams, document how ecosystems change, and carry out environmental site assessments.
