Undergraduate students can at an early stage of their post-secondary education be given the opportunity for research training and responsibilities typically associated with graduate level studies. Her goal with this training is to equip students with the skills required for effectively transitioning into roles as productive members of the workforce or the graduate student community. Studies done within the urban environment lend themselves uniquely well to providing these skills through student participation in research projects; it is possible for multiple students to receive field-based training without the costs associated with travel and field accommodation in remote locations. Students can participate regardless of family obligations and disabilities that would make it difficult for them to be away from home for extended periods of time. Though the research questions of the present program are suitable for graduate-level research projects, aspects can easily be broken down into smaller sub-projects suitable for undergraduate participation. Even these smaller projects allow students to experience how research can improve the quality of life of Canadians and lead to improvements in city planning on a local, national and international scale. | Tree physiology, plant stress response, plant water relations, urban ecology, protozoa, fluid dynamics, reclamation and restoration
