The I-STEAM Pathways Environmental Education and Research Program for Indigenous undergraduate students responds to the imperative for Indigenous worldviews to be incorporated into environmental policy and practice.
An experiential, cross-disciplinary learning program, it enables First Nations, Métis and Inuit students to gain research experience in a range of environmental fields, including science, environmental engineering, environmental law and policy. The program also provides a pathway to graduate studies in environmentally-related disciplines and opportunities to explore career possibilities in environment-related fields.
The long-term goal of the I-STEAM Pathways program is systemic change in addressing critical environmental issues through the incorporation of Indigenous knowledge, ethics and worldviews in environmental policy, planning and practice.”
The newly-established Subsurface Energy Research Group (SERG), under the supervision of Dr. Gonzalo Zambrano, is pleased to invite First Nations, Métis, and Inuit undergraduate students to apply for a fully-funded summer internship experience. Working in close partnership with the Reservoir Geomechanics Research Group ([RG]2) led by Dr. Rick Chalaturnyk, the successful applicant will explore environmental challenges associated with transitioning to cleaner energy. This opportunity prioritizes student-led development of the project from research design to desired and projected outcomes while using the cutting-edge technology, equipment, and software in our world-class GeoInnovation Environments (GIEs).
