The Environmental Geoscience Program draws on faculty mainly from the Trent School of the Environment. Please see the listing of Faculty under the Trent School of the Environment Faculty & Research.
Geoscience faculty members have robust and exciting research programs for tackling society’s most pressing environmental challenges, including surface and ground water pollution, land use impacts on soils, dust emissions and air quality, greenhouse gas emissions and global climate change. In addition to training graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, Trent faculty supervise undergraduate research assistants and honours thesis students.
EGEO 4020D: Honours Thesis (Sc)
Design, implementation, and dissemination of a major research project in environmental geoscience featuring independent work under the supervision of a faculty supervisor. This research must be based on at least one foundational geoscience field, including mineralogy, petrology, sedimentary processes, geochemistry, hydrology/hydrogeology, geomorphology, and soil science. Prerequisite: 14.0 university credits and a minimum cumulative average of 75%. Students must find a faculty member who is agreeable to supervise their project. Applications are available from the Trent School of the Environment Office, and should be submitted in the academic year before enrolment in the course.
