Hello everyone! This is a long shot but I’m in a slight predicament. I am writing my senior thesis on the environmental impact of data centers and need a professional interview. Is there anyone on this page that has a personal experience with the impacts of these centers or a degree relating to the environment? This interview doesn’t have to be over call; it can simply be where I message questions to you and you give me your best answer. I would love to hear about any professional input you may have. Thank you all for your time and any help is much appreciated!

Hi all! I'm currently working on my final masters year project on distribution, analysis and modelling of epiphytic lichens in the UK. I extracted the relevant environmental covariates using QGIS (see graph below). After pulling a dataset together, I ran a few tests such as PCA, CA, RDA, linear and regression models, and elevation often comes up as strongly associated with my lichens. I was reading a few things about air pollution and elevation being correlated due wind forces in action.

Does anyone know more about this kind of relationship?

I’m self-studying ES a-level through primrose kitten’s youtube videos, but now those have all been taken down since she doesn’t have the money anymore (apparently she‘s been replaced with AI). I have no idea what to do now, because those were the only resources available for studying environmental science.

does anyone have any resource recommendations or any of primrose’s videos dowloaded? I can’t have spent a year of study for nothing! how am I going to do the exam now??

Hola! Quería preguntar por aquí si alguien ha estudiado Sostenibilidad Urbana en la UC3M, quería informarme sobre ella un poco antes ya que es un grado nuevo. Merece la pena la carrera? Y las oportunidades de trabajo que te da después? He visto que puedes especializarte en Smart Cities es algo que realmente me interesa. Algo que me echa un poco para atrás es que son clases de 15 alumnos y me da un poco de ansiedad pensar en si me integraré bien ya que entraré con 23 años e imagino que el resto tendrá recién 18. Que opinan?

Hi everyone!

I'm currently taking Environmental Studies: Sustainability (ENVS 3991) at Thompson Rivers University.

For my final project, I'm researching urban development and wetland conservation in Churchill Meadows, Mississauga, particularly around the Churchill Meadows Community Centre and Mattamy Sports Park.

I'm hoping to hear from local residents about their experiences and opinions.

I have three quick questions:

1. Do you think enough is being done to protect natural green spaces, wetlands, and wildlife as Churchill Meadows continues to develop?
2. Have you noticed any changes to green spaces, wildlife, flooding, or drainage in the neighbourhood?
3. What would you like the City of Mississauga to prioritize when balancing new development with environmental protection?

Even a short response would be extremely helpful!

With your permission, I may summarize your comments anonymously in my university assignment.

Thank you so much for your time and help! 😊

I once worked in the biggest landfill in the region. TBH no one really cares about the environment there. leachate water is literally leaking everywhere they had zero knowledge about the environment impact nor the pollution. Soil & underground water & air pollution was all at the maximum number of regulations they had everything going wrong. The worst thing is evey year minimum 2 people dies there. everything they care about is money & unfortunately they make millions out of that contract.

I have worked in horticulture for almost 20 years, always on large private gardens or the Botanic gardens for 13 years. I’m 46 and my body knows I can’t do this for many more years, even though I’m much stronger and faster than younger staff.
I’m a mother, grandmother, work full time have a sick mother and live remotely on a large property with my husband and son, we also have senior roles on the property we work on. We are in the central table lands and there is a uni at Bathurst, I also have flexibility with time at work (start finish times).

I’ve always loved the environment, plants, animals, indigenous uses for plants, fire and the environment and have worked along side research while I was at the botanic gardens.
Ecology has always been in my mind, jobs I see that look interesting and interesting projects usually need an Ecologist. SO my questions are, can this be studied online well? What would be a good uni to do this? It’s a lot of juggling but I would really like to study again, it’s committing time and money.
Any suggestions feed back?

I am an environmental engineer from China, mainly engaged in soil investigation. I have several questions regarding work procedures and would like to learn how these issues are addressed in other countries or regions.

Please advise which country or region you are based in.

1. My work requires me to review extensive information about enterprises surrounding investigation sites, especially their environmental impact assessment (EIA) reports and pollutant discharge permits. These documents help me accurately identify pollutants generated by the enterprises. Normally, such documents are held by environmental protection authorities and disclosed on official environmental websites. However, for various reasons, information for many enterprises cannot be accessed; some enterprises do not even have EIA reports or pollutant discharge permits at all. Do other countries encounter similar problems, and if so, what solutions do they adopt?
2. China’s EIA system includes a public participation requirement: before construction, enterprises must disclose potential environmental impacts to communities that may be affected. In my professional practice, however, I have yet to see genuine public participation. Frequently, report preparers recruit irrelevant, uninformed individuals to sign forms carelessly, and signatures are sometimes forged. Do other countries have comparable systems, and do forgery incidents occur there?
3. During soil investigations, I need to conduct on-site visits to surrounding enterprises one by one. In practice, nearly all enterprises refuse access. Even with authorization documents from law-enforcement environmental authorities, I can barely gain entry, let alone meet enterprise management. Is this also common in other countries?

hello!

ive been considering perusing a masters degree in earth sciences, but im unsure what that would look like or if it would be worth it. is there a specific line of work where employers would really prefer a masters degree? i dont want to put myself even more in debt than i already am, but i do want to give myself the best possible shot at a career— and feel that my bachelors might be stopping too early. i have particular interest in GIS and climate related jobs!

thank you for any help at all!

I need to write a research paper on any soil topic.... anyone have any good or interesting ideas for a topic????

We are GE3 students conducting a survey to investigate how educational institutions promote environmental awareness. We kindly invite you to take a few minutes to answer the following questions. Your participation and valuable input are greatly appreciated.

Like what should be my goal? Grade-wise
Do I need to volunteer a lot
and if so what kind of volunteering

for context im in year 11, my mocks are in 2months
I've volunteered once so far, I have a debate competition a couple weeks from now in the US.
I'm based in Malaysia and the animal shelter I volunteer at previously is quite far from my home, so my parents banned me from going out before the competition.
If I get 2golds for the competition, then according to my teacher, I should get 2 credits for uni
My grades are not the best, sometimes below average
I should be able to get a C minimum for my EFL and a 7.5min for IELTS
I take physics, chem and bio.
I failed physics and chem in Term 3 of Year 10, but I got like a B or a C in biology
I also take Global Perspectives that I think I will get a B in
I take math and I think I'll get C minimum

I'm not trying to get in an Ivy League

I was thinking I could get a degree in environmental science and then work for an NGO in malaysia or an animal sanctuary

im currently a junior biology student with a concentration in environmental science/ecology with my degree 80% complete at this point. I’ve been struggling with ideas of careers for a really long time and only recently considered careers that lean more heavily into environmental science (particularly a focus with climate studies?). is a biology degree with a concentration enough to get into a masters program like that? or even break into a career leaning environmental science? should i consider double majoring? thanks for any advice, sorry if this is a really dumb question i have not been the best at planning for myself

i also completely understand if it’s too late to do anything about it considering my degree is basically almost done. any advice is ok advice it doesn’t even have to involve major questions, thank you

(im also in progress with a GIS certificate if that means anything)

Hi there, I’m currently in my second year at community college and I have an assignment where I have to interview a professional in my field about a possible solution to a problem that needs to be addressed in said field! I haven’t come up with a topic yet (do not fear, the assignment is due in 3 weeks!), but if you would like to be interviewed and maybe even make a friend just say hi! I am exploring topics I want to cover, and I think I would like to explore the idea of planting more trees in urban areas to combat scorching asphalt temperatures! Of course, thats just a brainstorm! Anyways, don’t feel pressured to respond and I hope whoever reads this has a good day! :)

This is my first post here so my wording may not be the best, apologies in advance.

I am a collage student currently finding inspiration for my environmental system and societies subject's research paper. I find that most of my ideas are redundant and have been done by others in the past. So, Im resorting to Reddit to find some suggestions people may have about their niche interests. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Hey can anyone suggest me something for environmental science or related graduation.... And if there's someone in TERI university or DU pursuing the same???

I am currently in grade 12

Hi! I'm a UTAS student in Oman working on a small university project about everyday environmental practices.

My survey takes about 3 minutes and covers saving electricity and water, recycling, and transportation.

Would it be okay to share my survey in this community?

Thank you for your time!
