Thank you.
The Limnology Laboratory at the University of Regina is seeking motivated students to sample lakes in the Qu'Appelle Valley, SK, as well as process samples in the laboratory. This project is part of a long-term effort to quantify the effects of land use, urbanization, and climate change on aquatic ecosystems in the northern Great Plains.
Some experience within the field of aquatic biology, chemistry, or geography is preferred, but not essential. Applicants should possess a valid drivers license, and be comfortable working on open water from small boats. You will be required to work outside and under adverse weather conditions. Experience with analytical laboratory procedures and numerical analysis would be an asset.
Research will involve comprehensive weekly sampling of chemical and biological parameters of the lakes within the QuAppelle Valley as well as fossil analyses (paleoecology) of lake sediments. Opportunities exist for independent research and honours projects.
