We're currently in search of a reliable underwater camera solution for inspecting silt screens placed at the outfall of a channel into the sea. Due to diving restrictions in the area, we need a camera system that can effectively capture footage of the silt screens to ensure they have been installed in accordance with manufacturer requirements and show no signs of damage or turbidity escape.
Our main requirements include:
Quality Footage: The camera should be capable of capturing high-quality footage that clearly demonstrates the installation of the silt screens, including footage of the joints, stitching, and overall condition.
Remote Viewing Capability: It would be advantageous if the camera system has remote viewing capabilities, allowing our team to monitor the inspection in real-time from a safe location.
If you have any recommendations based on your experiences or if you've come across a suitable underwater camera system for similar purposes, we would greatly appreciate your insights. Additionally, if you have any tips or best practices for conducting silt screen inspections in challenging underwater environments, please feel free to share them.
I'm at the point in my (bachelor) degree where I need to decide if I want to do honors or not. Is honors worth it? At this point I'm not really sure about what area of env sci I want to work in so I'm not sure if I should commit to honors but I imagine it would look better on a resume no?
Background: I am moving to Ohio this month because my girlfriend landed a job in her field. I graduated this last December with a BS in environmental science (field science) and have experience working for the state and field research through internships. I did food safety inspections for the PA department of agriculture and conservation research for hellbenders last summer and enjoyed both.
Current: I went back home to work at my old job I had while in school so I could save money and look for jobs in my field. Now that I am relocating to Ohio I have been looking at jobs on linkedin, Indeed, and the state employment website around Cleveland and Akron. The only jobs I have come across that are entry level are environmental specialist jobs or others that require licenses or certifications that I do not have. Furthermore, the jobs I have found and applied to have not responded to me in weeks or even looked at my application.
I’m not sure if Ohio even has any conservation jobs at this point and the ones that I come across are far and few between. Basically, I am looking to see if anyone has any advice on what jobs would be available with my degree in Ohio and any tips on how to search for these jobs and get employers attention.
Hi. Before anything I want to make this clear that I really want to know this and I'm not trying to mock anyone.
What I want to know is what exactly is it that climate change implies? I mean, is it supposed to make the environment hotter or colder? Alternatively, is it making places which were hot hotter and colder colder? I can't understand this. There are places which have never seen snow before but have now or places which were colder getting longer winters and places which were hot,have the heat rise twice as much. Depending on what you search for, you can get for and against answers for everything. That's why I'd appreciate it if I can get a bit of explanation here. Thanks.
Hello all!
I have finally started my career as a researcher and did a poster presentation which won in an All Science Meeting. They want me to present it again at another meeting and everyone said it would look great on my resume.
However, does anyone even put these things on their resume? Is it just for the CV? Where would I even put it? Do employers actually care about poster presentations? The topic will be in a published paper later this year or next year anyway.
This meeting was in a local university and now they want me to present it to Federal Agents. I’m not sure if that makes any difference.
Thank you in advance!!!
I have a BS in Environmental Studies and an MS in Environmental Management in December, and I will start a BS in Environmental Economics and Policy (online) in January. Currently, I'm a Public Health Environmentalist for my state (food and lodging health inspector), but I want to transition into more environmental management or analytics.
I feel like I'm pigeonholed in the inspector career, and it's not where I plan to stay. It's just a stepping stone. Any advice on how I can transition?

Hi all,
I am an environmental scientist based in nj with 8yrs of experience in mostly civil engineering and remedial efforts. I am looking to make a change and shake up the mundane 9-5 grind. Can anyone point me in a direction where I can either make a nice hourly rate on a contract but work hard and then not have to work for like 3-6 months in order to travel. Or maybe a shift schedule where you work for 2.5 weeks and are off for 3 weeks which I saw on a different subreddit based out of a mining operation.
I want to talk to recruiters but all they have are the same old jobs. Is there like a network for these kind of jobs or something else out there that I am missing? I feel like there should be a head hunter who fits people in these exact positions.
I have a debate on wether the de-extinction of certain species would help the environment? i would enjoy others thoughts and opinions for both sides
I went be professional in field in environment science that's why I went yous help.. anyone who wants to be a shear your report sample please 🙏
Hello!
So, I am going to visit someone really special to me this weekend - and want to get them something sweet and useful for them to celebrate their completion of law school (they are studying environmental law)!
An idea I had were seeds native to the area they will be moving to next that would be good for the bugs and wildlife there? I know they love to garden!
I am open to any ideas!! It does have to be relatively small as I am traveling to them with only a carry on. Oh, and they are also vegan!
Thank you all for your time and thank you for all you do for the environment <3 I hope you have a beautiful Tuesday!!!

Coming from a background in mathematics and having worked as a data scientist for several years, I am eager to apply my skills to environmental issues. I want to use mathematical modeling to understand atmospheric dynamics, use data science to predict natural disasters, make efficient grid system, basically anything that helps the environment. I want to do research in the field, which universities offer master’s programs in this field and which are renowned for their strength in environmental science modelling?
i plan on pursuing biogeochemistry and am instructed to make a study proposal for the supervisor and scholarship but i seem to be so isolated and dont have anyone in my social circle to talk to about it or discuss topics, i feel lost and de motivated at times
Howdy, I have my interview coming up for MLEIP internship. Anyone have any suggestions on what kinda questions i should prepare for? Any advice would be appreciated.
I'm starting community college in the fall with hopes of transferring to a university later. My goal is to go into an environmental science program in university, possibly focusing on environmental economics and policy, natural resources management etc. I'm unsure if I should do an associate degree in environmental science or going for something like biology or geology. I'm still trying to figure out exactly what career l'd like to go in, l'd love to work with renewable or green energy. Frankly I'm not even familiar with all the options out there but for right now my main focus is standing out among other Environmental science graduates. Also, it seems that a BS in geology opens more doors than a BS in ENVS programs. So I’m thinking if I should do ENVS in community college and a Geology in Uni instead?
Hi all. My son applied as an environmental science major, and has been accepted to University of Washington, University of Oregon, OSU, and UC Merced, and is waitlisted at UC Santa Cruz. He’s leaning towards OSU, partly because it’s cheaper and partly because he’s excited about the honors college there (I don’t know how much of a difference that really is, but it seems significant), but we see all kinds of conflicting information online about the schools and programs.
For example, University of Washington seems to have the best overall reputation, but students complain about a lot of the challenges of being at such a big school. Most rankings seem to prefer University of Oregon over OSU, but we don’t know if the honors college changes that calculation. If anyone has any insight or experiences they’re willing to share about this, that would really help us, because we’re concerned we just don’t have enough info.
Hello, I am currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in Geology (with elective subjects Environmental Science and Chemistry) to graduate very soon but I want to switch over to a different line for my master's. Specifically to one of-
Ecology
Environmental Science
Forestry
Wildlife Science
As for what profession i want to pursue, I'm not entirely too sure but I definitely want to work in Nature Conservation to some capacity if not entirely. I also want to work with/study the ecology of wild animals or insects and of course, their conservation. I am not interested in Agronomy.
I am having a very difficult time choosing which line among the four could be best from me. Any advice?
I am doing a presentation on lithium mining with others in respect to environmental economics, and I am having a hard time finding laws, and regulations for lithium mining. Does anyone know if there are regulations for lithium mining?
hello all, I am exploring careers in geoscience. I'm wondering how many people have found jobs in the New England area, especially field roles? What is your degree, position, duties and pay? Did you attend school around here or somewhere else? Would you recommend any study programs in this area? How math heavy was your study? I am interested in field and lab work, with focus on ecological/environmental conservation.
Brand new paper published in Environmental Modelling & Software. We investigate the possibility of training a model in a data-rich site and reusing it without retraining or tuning in a new (data-scarce) site. The concepts of transferability matrix and transferability indicators have been introduced.
