Spring your education into action through a variety of campus initiatives, such as growing food in the on-campus gardens or driving sustainability initiatives. Study abroad with a variety of international research placement opportunities, including in Iceland or in the UK. Learn from several Canada Research Chairs affiliated with Trent School of the Environment with expertise in areas of climate change, carbon sequestration, geoscience, ecology and evolution, and carbon culture.
