Undergraduate Student Opportunities

We are seeking a graduate student (MSc or PhD level) to participate in a recently-awarded NSERC Strategic Grant
Project (SPG) titled “Development of environmental fingerprinting techniques for sources of sediment and associated phosphorus within agricultural watersheds of Canada.”
This particular component of the project is based at the Faculty of Forestry & Environmental Management and the Canadian Rivers Institute at the University of New Brunswick. It focuses on the application of established source-tracing techniques and the development of emerging ones to help understand the sources and dynamics of sediments and nutrients (phosphorus) in fluvial ecosystems that typify agricultural watersheds in Eastern Canada (more below). Through this SPG, concurrent and complementary source-tracing projects are underway through the University of Manitoba (Prof. David Lobb) and the University of Northern British Columbia (Profs. Phil Owens and Ellen Petticrew).PDF attached with details.

Attention all Graduate and 4 th -Year Students:

Please take a moment to allow me inform you of an exciting upcoming poster presentation and networking opportunity, to be held on the University of Guelph campus! The A.D. Latornell Conservation Symposium (LCS) , in conjunction with the Peter Yodzis Colloquium in Fundamental Ecology (PYC) , is now accepting poster presentation abstracts for this year’s Colloquium, to be held June 7 th and 8 th , 2012 in Alexander Hall and the Science Complex Atrium, at the University of Guelph.

Successful applicants will have the choice to attend the entire conference at a heavily discounted registration rate ($30), or to attend only the poster presentation session absolutely FREE! There are also prizes for the top posters and presenters. Poster presentations will be taking place during the afternoon and evening of June 7 th (Thursday), and will be on display in the Science Complex Atrium until the conclusion of the Colloquium. This event is anticipated to draw approximately 200 professionals from government agencies (e.g. OMAFRA, MOE), in addition to university researchers, businesses and ENGO’s. While poster presentations related to the fields of fundamental ecology and adaptive management are strongly encouraged, we are also seeking research posters from the fields of Geography, Environmental Design, Rural Studies, Environmental Science, Engineering, Environmental Studies and other related areas.
