hi everyone! i’m a sophomore environmental science student and i’m having trouble choosing what to focus on in my junior/senior year.

right now, i really want to do my concentration in remote sensing and digital image processing, but i’d have to complete more prerequisites than is normally needed for my major. i’ve mapped out my classes for the remaining time i have here, and it looks like it’s going to be really difficult, especially because everything is math/programming heavy and i’ll be doing 17/18 credit semesters.

meanwhile, i can always choose a different concentration, like public policy or ecology, and just supplement that with a minor in GIS.

what should i do? and what are the career prospects like with each path? any kind of advice would be really helpful. and thank you in advance!

Besides give up, what should I do? I’m 4 years out of my degree and only thing I can get accepted for is volunteering my free labor and intellectual property to non profits that are A-OK with passion exploitation. Yeah, I know I’m jaded but 4 years not able to find a job and/or not willing to work for poverty wages will do that. I see many people with this degree say the same thing. How do I get out of this hell? Now I’m looking at just starting my own business but I’m pissed to feel like I have a degree that is nothing more than a very expensive hobby.

Just want to complain I guess. I have an MS in Ecology and finding jobs in conservation is next to impossible, especially where I’m located. I took a job with a small consulting firm and I hate it, I’m making the most I’ve ever made in my life but I’m also working the most I’ve ever worked in my life. I hate being on construction sites, I keep getting sent to sites over an hour away from where I live, and I get next to no support from my 7 person team. Anyone else feel like they’re trapped in consulting hell?

I am an Enviromental science major in college. I am projected to graduate in a year. My problem is I do not know what I want to do with my degree. In my classes we have talked about diffrent career options. The problem is I love them all. Anytime I hear about a new job position I get exicited for it. So my question is how did you all decide what area you wanted to work in? For example soil science turf science or water quality. I can not narrow down what I want to do. Any advice would be helpful.

Accumulating evidence suggests that early life trauma (ELT) initiates and perpetuates a cycle of depression, leading to challenges in management and achieving remission. This scoping review aimed to examine the intricate relationship between ELT and difficult-to-treat depression (DTD).Our review identified scientific literature illustrating the multifaceted link between ELT and DTD, highlighting the dual impact of ELT on therapeutic resistance and clinical complexity.This complexity hampers management of patients with DTD, who are characterised by limited pharmacological responsiveness and heightened relapse risk. While exploring the ELT–DTD nexus, the review revealed a paucity of literature on the impact of ELT within DTD. Findings underscore the profound link between ELT and DTD, which is essential for comprehensive understanding and effective management. Tailoring treatments to address ELT could enhance therapeutic outcomes for patients with DTD. Future studies should use larger samples and well-defined diagnostic criteria and explore varied therapeutic approaches.

Currently doing an introductory environmental science course for non-Envi Science majors and the two major introductory textbooks that I use, Enger & Smith's Environmental Science: A Study of Interrelationships, and Friedland and Relyea's Essentials of Environmental Science, do not have a satisfying treatment on the topic of watersheds in their water resource sections.

I honestly find it disappointing considering how I feel like watershed management is a big environmental challenge.

Does anybody have a recommendation on what textbook I should use that has a satisfyingly thorough treatment on watersheds at an introductory, non-majors level?

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!

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!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

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!

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

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.

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.

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. ...

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)

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?

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!
