MES/MESc Research Colloquium – 2024
Students in the Masters of Environmental Studies/Masters of Environmental Sciences program will be presenting on their ongoing research on Wednesday, 10 April from 2:00pm to ~4:30pm in A252-A (The Sandbox).
We invite all to come and join us to learn about a wide range of environmental research topics, ranging from local lumbering legacies, peatland trace gas fluxes, hydrologic and water quality studies of our regional watersheds, to assessment of past forest fire severity, and performance of community-based natural resource management in Kenya.
Everyone (undergraduate, graduate, life long learners) are welcome!
All presenting students will be attending in person and so we encourage you to join us in person for discussion and some fun social interaction! Refreshments will be provided. This event will be hybrid form – please register for online attendance using the provided zoomlink.
Student talks will be 10 minutes with 5 minutes for questions.
