BSH.WASC - Water Sciences - BSc Honours

www.trentu.ca/watersciences

Freshwater systems provide many essential ecosystem services, such as clean water, food, energy, recreation, climate regulation, and waste assimilation. As human populations and economies grow, demand for these ecosystem services will continue to increase. The Water Sciences program provides students with the knowledge and skills they need to respond to contemporary water challenges, in Canada and internationally. A cooperative undertaking of the School of the Environment and the Departments of Biology and Chemistry, the program draws from courses which together provide students with the technical and theoretical foundation for study of the science of water and the aquatic environment.
