Studies

University of Alberta Augustana Campus professors Dr. Glen Hvenegaard and Dr. Glynnis Hood and their undergraduate students are discovering important environmental science and geography clues to the world in which we live. Students learn how to conduct a field-based research project by planning a project, gathering data in the field, analyzing information and giving presentations. Students in the course live and work at the Augustana Miquelon Lake Research Station. They work closely with staff from Alberta Parks and seek to conduct research that supports the work of park managers and environmental scientists. Past topics have included water depth in Miquelon water bodies, park visitor motivations and activities, beaver and muskrat habitat use, soil nutrients in different habitats, water quality, Miquelon Lake as a stopover for migrating birds and reclamation success in old oil and gas well sites.
