Overview

Engage in the interdisciplinary study of the natural world. Understand how the environment responds to human activity and how we can solve environmental problems.

Environmental Science extends beyond the traditional science disciplines to examine terrestrial, aquatic, and atmospheric biotic and abiotic systems and their interactions. Graduate with an in-depth knowledge of these environmental systems and how they function naturally and in response to humans.  Develop a range of expertise necessary to address present and future environmental challenges. 

Based in northern Ontario, our program draws on world-class environmental research and community work, with special emphasis on northern freshwater ecology, reclamation of industrially damaged land and lakes, environmental remediation and protection, responsible resource development and climate adaptation.
