Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Water Sciences

Study with internationally-recognized water scientists in state-of-the-art labs and learning facilities, including the Trent Water Quality Centre, the most comprehensive mass spectrometry facility in Canada. Plants, animals, and humans all require fresh water to survive, and many living species make water ecosystems their home. As a student in this program, you?ll learn about topics that are foundational to efforts to conserve our most precious resource: freshwater, which accounts for less than two per cent of the Earth?s water supply. You?ll complete a series of practical and theoretical courses drawn from four primary subjects (biology, chemistry, geography, and environmental science) important to examining the science of water and the aquatic environment. By studying at Trent, you?ll gain a thorough understanding of contemporary water challenges, as well as the knowledge and skills necessary to respond to aquatic issues in Canada and around the world.

Geoscientists include geologists, geochemists and geophysicists who conduct programs of exploration and research to extend knowledge of the structure, composition and processes of the earth, to locate, identify and extract hydrocarbon, mineral and groundwater resources and to assess and mitigate the effects of development and waste disposal projects on the environment. Oceanographers conduct programs of exploration and research on ocean processes and phenomena, biological, chemical and physical characteristics of oceans, interactions with atmospheric and geological environments and impacts of human activity on oceans and marine ecosystems. Geoscientists are employed by petroleum and mining companies, consulting geology, geophysics and engineering firms and by governments and educational institutions, or they may be self-employed. Oceanographers are employed by governments, educational institutions and private companies engaged in exploration of seafloor deposits and seafarming areas, or they may be self-employed.
