This course is designed to introduce students to the key topics of relevance to research in their chosen fields of study in environmental science. In the first term, seminar speakers are drawn from faculty, visiting researchers and environmental science practitioners. In the winter term, students are required to participate in a group seminar that focuses on solutions to a current environmental problem. The class meets biweekly for academic content throughout the fall and winter; alternate weeks may be used for in-program professional skills development exercises. The course is restricted to those students enrolled in the MEnvSc Program.
