Latest research gaps in Glaciology/ Terrestrial Cryosphere....

My supervisor is from Hydrology background (I am stuck with him) ... And he has zero knowledge about Glaciology...I have read few papers about GLOF in High mountain Asia... However in GLOF research.. mostly risk assessment is the research gaps. What else should is focus on ...? What are some burning research gaps!

So im done with the result of my research about analyzing urban dynamics (population density, land use land cover, and extent of built-up area). The result is that, in my study area, half of the total land area is composed of urban area, consuming the forestland and other categories. Population on the other hand is exponentially increasing. Now, my 4th objective is to recommend or develop a sustainable framework how to prevent or mitigate the said occurence. I have seen some related research but im hoping that you'll help me. Im sorry for the confusing english.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Geography and Environmental Studies from the University of Victoria, but it’s been really hard to try and find a permanent job in the environmental sector. Was just wondering if anyone could provide some of their experiences on some diplomas I could possibly further my education with? I’ve heard that the diploma at Comosun is good, but I would ideally like to hear from people who have gone through programs that would give me the best chance of securing a job afterwards? Thanks everyone!

Hi everyone!

I’m a high school student who has to do a environmental paper on a specific topic. I tried looking into water quality but it doesn’t strike my interest. I know a little about nutrition and I was wondering if anyone has ideas that can go into nutritional research. It has to be testable and applicable (using primary or secondary research). I’m doing this for IB btw. My teacher has been of no help unfortunately. I know this is really vague but anything is really helpful.

Senior Highschool student here! from the title itself, however, the common problem in our environment ( from our place not worldwide) is flooding, plastics, and trashes everywhere, so we need help coming up with ideas on what our research would be.... it could be A.I or inventions or whatever however we just want something that is simple but a bit hard and our research is helpful in our place. Please please pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for advice on behalf of my girlfriend. She's considering going back to school for environmental science because she wants a career that allows her to work outdoors instead of being stuck in an office all day.

We're particularly interested in:

1. Job security in the environmental science field
2. Career opportunities in the Pacific Northwest
3. Typical work environments (how much time is actually spent outdoors?)
4. Potential salary ranges
5. Required education

Does anyone here work in environmental science or know someone who does? We'd really appreciate any insights on the job market, day-to-day work life, and overall career satisfaction in this field, especially in the PNW area.

Thanks in advance for your help!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I'm a current federal employee with a business degree (I hate my current career). I still have my GI Bill available and I'm working on my Environmental Science, B.S. I would like to continue my education into a Masters program.

I'm having trouble making the justification on a Environmental Science, MS. Are there any specific career paths that require a MS? Job listings seem all over the place on requirements.

Hello everyone,

I recently graduated with a degree in Environmental Science and have decided the career that I want to pursue is EHS.

I wish I would have got a safety degree but it is what it is. Now I just have two questions.

1. What certifications would you recommend I obtain to make me more employable for this role?

2. Where is the best place to find entry level EHS positions?

Thanks in advance!

I’ve been unemployed for almost four months now. The few jobs I’ve interviewed for all require driving which I can’t do because of a DUI. It’s been my dream to move out west ever since i was young. I am completely failing at that.

I want to break into EHS but everything I find requires experience I don’t have. I regret so many of my past decisions and feel completely lost. I’ve never hated life as much as I do now.

I hate complaining because I know this is all my fault. I just feel like such a failure.

Any advice?

My university's environmental science department is small and underfunded, and the students are scattered between various STEM or environmental clubs as there is nothing for Environmental Science. I was hoping to establish or join a chapter of a professional association, but don't know where to start. Preferably the organization has resources and is fairly established / focuses specifically on environmental science and environmental studies. Edit: I live in central Texas

Solar Panels - am I correct in the research that so long as the panels are not broken they don’t leach toxic chemicals into ground water and that moving the battery to outside the home helps with emf exposure ??

Google In ordinary state, these toxic substances are not released out but when there is a defect on the system due to improper handling or installation or if there is a crack in the system, rain can penetrate inside the systems and heavy metals may be leached out. 22 16,24) For example, lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd), used in solar panels, are contaminant of concern because of their highly toxic nature. Exposure to the toxic substances like Pb, Cd, Ni can cause cancer, kidney, liver, lungs and brain damage, which are toxic to blood, prostate, respiratory system and also recognized for reducing reproduction, increasing behavior problems as well as humans and wildlife death. ...

I'm crowdsourcing a list of good ideas for how to improve urban spaces for human use and also improving habitat to benefit native species.

Do you have any good urban ecology ideas you really like and hope to spread? Any cities or projects that really stand out as great examples? Particularly in hotter climates.

Hi! I am currently trying to do preliminary research for a massive project in an environmental science class I'm in. The project I want to do is removal of Chloride from water (probably river water, although more research will be needed to determine that), specifically the cost-effectiveness of multiple methods. I have been researching for probably 5 hours straight on google scholar among other government websites and stuff, and I'm coming up mostly empty. I need a total of 4 methods for removal which I can reasonably afford, and so far I've found one that I can maybe possibly do (reverse osmosis) and one that I honestly don't think is going to work, but I'm gonna try anyways (boiling it). I may also possibly just use the filter in my house, but I need to look into how it works. So, now I turn to you, and humbly request that you help me out here. What else that is affordable could I do? Thank you so much in advance for anyone who helps out. (Also, make sure you're talking about ChloriDe and not ChloriNe, I lost a few hours of my life to that)

My coursework is pretty hands on, with 4 field study, a case study every semester and a 4 month internship. But would this be enough to land me a job? How do I actually acquire experience, or do I cite these as my experience? Please help!

Hey everyone! I'm reaching out to residents in the South Chicago area to learn more about your experiences with water quality and access.

• Have you noticed your tap water being cloudy or tasting strange?
• Are you concerned about chemicals or lead in your water?

I believe this is an important issue that many in our community might be facing. If you’re willing to share your experiences, I’d love to gather some insights to understand how widespread these problems are.

If there's interest, I can also create a short survey to explore these concerns further. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments or message me if you’re comfortable!

Hi all. I’m a structural engineer who is considering taking a job working on nuclear power plants. My background is in no way environmental but I do try my best to limit my impact on the planet. I’ve been an outdoorsy person my whole life and have a serious appreciation for nature. Long story short I’m thinking about entering into the nuclear power industry as a structural engineer (i.e building structures for these plants). It pays much better than a normal structural engineer job. My question is, would taking on a job like this be contributing to the current climate issues? When I try to look into nuclear power, it’s so controversial. Some people claim it’s “the future” while others claim it’s terrible due to the waste produced. Figured I’d post in here to get some better prospective from people more knowledgeable than me in this area. What do you guys think?

i got a DUI about a year ago so pretty much all driving jobs are off the table.

what are some jobs in envisci that don’t require driving?

I can only seem to find data on waste per capita, not waste generated.... meaning, the amount of waste in landfills in the state is used... which, for quite a few states, has very little to do with how much waste is actually generated in-state, given how much waste is transported to other states to be put in landfills.... (For instance, in Ohio, something like 30% of the waste disposed of in MSW landfills is waste exported from other states, then basing waste per capita in Ohio, on wsste disposed in landfills in Ohio, actually doesn't reflect the waste generated in Ohio).

I’ve been working on sediment samples from a lake without any gloves and I’ve been researching about the area and how there’s high rates of pollution there, naturally occurring blue-green algae, sewage discharge all sorts I want to cry about how I didn’t end up looking into this earlier but I thought it fine because other professors have been working on samples near that location.

I want to curl up into a ball and cry

Hey everyone! I am currently trying to find a lab that would accept and process sediment samples testing for carbon, nitrogen, organic content, denitrification and bulk density. Would anyone have any leads I could reach out to? It would be for pre and post monitoring for Living Shoreline Program. TIA

Hi, I live in a flood zone in New Jersey, I've been affected by it twice in the past two years, when I went to my local city council to discuss this in protest of the park they were building in the flood zone instead of fixing the flooding issue, they told me that despite multiple meeting with the federal government the meetings would end the same, it's would simply be too much money, well I think that's bullshit. I want to create a website to raise awareness of how bad it is on a county level, by doing interviews with local officials, and small activist groups in the county (there's only one that I have found so far) the part I need help researching is climate change, and how it has effected how it has affected the county I live in, Environmental Science is not my strong suit so if anyone can help me please DM me.

Hi, l'm a high school senior working on a capstone design project for our engineering class where we are researching coastal erosion. We put together a short survey in order to further develop our understanding of the issue. Submission of the survey and any additional feedback or questions would be greatly appreciated!
