Undergraduate Student Research Awards (USRA) are meant to stimulate your interest in research in the natural sciences and engineering. They are also meant to encourage you to undertake graduate studies and pursue a research career in these fields. If you would like to gain research work experience that complements your studies in an academic setting then these type of awards may be of interest to you.
LED lights are more energy-efficient than standard greenhouse lights. Prof. Youbin Zheng, Environmental Sciences, is studying how different coloured LED (light-emitting diode) lights affect the growth of plants in greenhouses.

Next Wednesday, January 14th, John Riley (Nature Conservancy of Canada senior science advisor, author of "The Once and Future Great Lakes Country") will be a guest of SEDRD.
Riley's talk will describe the history of environmental change in the Great Lakes basin, including massive declines in flora and fauna to recent increases in nature protection and re-wilding.
The Department of Natural Resource Sciences of McGill University invites applications for a tenure-track position in Environmental Soil Chemistry. The successful candidate will conduct research with a focus on the chemistry of degraded soils, particularly as it applies to urban and peri-urban agricultural and contaminated sites. Research areas of particular interest include the remediation and restoration of soil quality of degraded and contaminated sites, and the behavior, bioavailability and transport of trace metals and organic contaminants.
