The Environmental Science Investigator program

is a NEW hands-on interactive learning experience where high school students participate in environmental research programs that are taking place at the St. Lawrence River Institute of Environmental Sciences.

During this program, students will learn about the various sampling and analytical techniques that scientists use for their research. Under the supervision of River Institute scientists, students will collect and analyze environmental samples using state-of the-art scientific equipment. The main objective of the Environmental Science Investigator program is to provide a unique learning opportunity for students to interact with researchers and explore the growing field of environmental science. The Environmental Science Investigator program will allow students to investigate various aspects of their environment.
The program is divided into the following 5 themes: 

Fish sampling and analysis
Aquatic invertebrates – indicators of ecosystem health
Plant biodiversity
DNA fingerprinting – biotechnology at work
