Available Benthic Biomonitoring Projects
There are a number of ways that students can complete a Trent Benthic Biomonitoring research project. You either need to be enrolled in a Trent University or Fleming course that offers CBR (current applicable courses at Trent include but are not limited to: ERST 3080Y, , ERSC 1010Y, BIOL 3890, and GEOG 4830Y).
OR…
You can apply to do an independent project under the supervision of a faculty member. Most of our independent projects commence at the beginning of each semester, but opportunities may be available at any time throughout the year. Click here for an "Independent Student Application form for a CBR project"
OR…
You can complete a CBR project as your master’s thesis. A number of community-based projects are broad in scope, require a high level of academic skill and more time for completion. Review the project descriptions for proposals that suggest group work or graduate level work. If a project interests you, contact us directly to discuss. CBR is a unique opportunity to apply your research skills while also gaining valuable professional experience!
If you have any questions or want to discuss a project, contact us through email or via the contact window at the bottom of this page.
Matched Benthic Biomonitoring Projects for 2020-2021
Congratulations to the student researchers who have matched up with a local lake organization to complete one of our benthic biomonitoring projects this year!
#4950 Glamor Lake Benthic Macroinvertebrate Assessment
1.0 Credit (Y)
Field Work Component
A-synchronous
Assist the Glamor Lake Cottage Association assess the health of their lake through the collection, identification, and analysis of benthic macroinvertebrates. This is the first year benthic sampling has been conducted on this lake as part of this program and, as such, students will be establishing an important baseline for future data to build upon.
