The Aquatic Ecology and Watershed Science concentration provides students with the research experience and academic training needed to pursue careers in the aquatic sciences. Students attend courses in the aquatic and watershed sciences and supporting fields (e.g., statistics, GIS, remote sensing) and carry out thesis-based research. Research topics may be related to fish, plankton or benthic ecology, aquatic biogeochemistry, aquatic ecotoxicology, watershed science and management, wetlands, modeling of aquatic systems, and more. Research facilities used by students include the Rubenstein Ecosystem Science Laboratory on the Burlington waterfront, the UVM Spatial Analysis Laboratory in Aiken Center, the 45-ft long research vessel Melosira and a variety of smaller boats. The group works closely with the Vermont Water Resources and Lake Studies Center and the Vermont Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Unit. Weekly AEWS seminars for Concentration students and faculty promote camaraderie and ensure familiarity with a broad range of aquatic topics. For more information, please contact: |
