Chemical / Medical laboratory Technician

Medical laboratory technicians play a vital role in the effective diagnosis and treatment of patients. You are expected to collect samples and perform tests to support doctors and other medical professionals as they detect diseases and treat patients.

Chemical laboratory technicians work in a supporting role using testing methodologies to assure quality with chemical manufacturers, cannabis and food ingredient companies, energy producers and the emerging green product sector.

Advanced water systems operations & management

The operation and management of water and wastewater treatment systems to safeguard against water-borne diseases, and ensure a healthy environment in an efficient and sustainable manner are paramount in both public and private sector industries. The provision of potable water and the effective treatment of the municipal and industrial wastewater streams are growing fields in the environmental sector.  

Sustainable waste water management

Exponential increase in population has led to the release of large amounts of unregulated and untreated wastewater into water bodies such as rivers, lakes, streams, and estuaries causing various environmental and health issues. Traditionally various procedures are applied for the treatment of wastewater at the local and municipality level. Due to the increased need and development of newer technologies, it is necessary to understand all the available procedures and evaluate their efficiency. In the present review, all the important methods involved in the treatment of wastewater and its monitoring have been comprehensively discussed and compared along with their advantages and disadvantages. Information will not only help in understanding the treatment of wastewater but it will also help in developing procedures for the reuse of treated water for various alternative purposes

Horticulture technician

Also known as Horticultural Field Technicians or Greenhouse Technicians, Horticulture Technicians are a type of agricultural worker that work with plants to ensure they are healthy. They may work in outdoor environments such as fields of agricultural produce, or in indoor environments such as hydroponics facilities and greenhouses. Their typical role is to take recordings of growth, check that the plants receive the right amount of water and nutrients, to remove weeds, promote pollination and to carry out treatment if, and when, a plant or batch of plants show signs of disease or pest damage. They will dispose of dead organic material such as leaves or whole plants and are important in a range of fields.

Ecosystem restoration

Ecosystem restoration, or ecological restoration, is restoring an ecosystem to its natural state cost-effectively and sustainably. In other words, ecosystem restoration refers to restoring ecosystems that have been damaged or disrupted by human activity or natural causes. Ecological restoration aims to create a healthy environment for humans and other organisms. Environmental restoration may involve removing invasive species, reintroducing native species, restoring hydrological balance, or any number of different activities intended to improve an area’s biodiversity and health. There is a lot of pressure on open spaces and natural resources.

Coastal ecology

Coastal ecosystems are amongst the most biodiverse and productive on Earth, including estuaries, mangroves, wetlands, intertidal zones, sea grass meadows, and coral reefs. These ecosystems provide a wealth of resources and services for human communities, but are also under significant threat from climate change, overexploitation, pollution, and other anthropogenic pressures. It is therefore vital to better understand the highly intricate ecological networks of coastal communities, if we are to successfully preserve, manage and improve the health of these ecosystems in the coming decades. This Collection welcomes submissions from all fields of ecology, conservation, environmental sciences, sustainability, and interdisciplinary research, with a focus on coastal ecosystems and the organisms found within them.

Project management – environmental

This eight-month graduate certificate program prepares you for careers in project development and management in both environmental and civil engineering industries. Your studies will encompass all aspects of project management, from the competitive bid process to scheduling, risk management and the closing of projects. During the second semester, you will gain valuable industry experience under the guidance of a mentor.

Environmental control

In many ways, environmental control is the most fundamental part of preservation. Storing books and paper items in the right environment can reduce their degradation, prolong their lifetime, and avoid the need for costly repair. Environmental control is an effective preservation method that can be used in any collection by maintaining appropriate levels of temperature, relative humidity, and light.

Natural Resources

Natural resources embrace a broad array of categories, including agricultural, conservational, forestry, oceanic, water, energy, and mineral resources. This article only focuses on the last three. Traditional methods for natural resource management include, but are not limited to, geophysical exploration, field geological mapping, geochemical analysis, and aero-photo interpretations. Natural resource-related research is by nature a spatial problem. Integration of field survey data and other pertinent information can be a time-consuming task by traditional ways.

Environmental Technician

This program will prepare you for work in the growing environmental technology field by covering the three foundational disciplines of biology, chemistry and civil engineering, and teaching you to understand and manage complex environmental problems. The technology program will include hands-on training as you’ll learn to use the tools and equipment needed in water and soil quality analysis, ecological field sampling, analytical chemistry and surveying. The unique combination of technical skills will greatly increase your career options once you graduate from the Environmental Technician program, which has received the President’s Academic Program Recognition awards for Quality of the Learning Experience and for Outstanding Graduate Satisfaction.
