Winter Undergraduate Student Awards in Earth Sciences:
David Barlow Memorial Award (Application deadline: March 10)
GAC-PDAC Logan Student Prize (Nomination deadline: February 8)
IMPORTANT: Summer Research Opportunities
There are about 70 FoS-coordinated summer research awards available each year, on a competitive basis, for current undergraduate students. Interested students may apply for an award and indicate the faculty member they’d like to work with. Award recipients spend 16 weeks participating in a research project, alongside graduate students and other undergraduates.
Deadline is January 24th
Earth Sciences Doctoral Award
The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Dalhousie University invites applications for the Dalhousie Earth Sciences Doctoral Award for admission to the Ph.D. program in Fall 2019. This award provides financial support to outstanding Canadian and International students with a demonstrated record of academic success in their undergraduate and early graduate studies. The award is guaranteed for two years, then subject to renewal for the 3rd and 4th years based on student performance.
The deadline for applications is December 1, 2019.
Congratulations to our graduate student Lobke Rotteveel on her first-author publication in Environmental Science and Technology (2018 IF 7.15) based on work done in the Sterling Hydrology Lab.

Introducing the Department of Earth and Environmental Science
Can liming N.S. forests help fight climate change?
NS: Mainstreet Halifax's Jeff Douglas spoke with EES' Shannon Sterling, who is researching whether liming forests can help them absorb more carbon dioxide.
EES' Shannon Sterling on CBC's Quirks & Quarks
Listen to Shannon answer Quirks and Quarks' question of the week: "As water covers most of the Earth, why isn't it completely shrouded in clouds?"
Halifax scientists endorse climate emergency letter
Meet EES' John Gosse, a geologist with a passion for landscape evolution and teaching the science of natural disasters.
