University of Guelph Scholarship
More details :
The Watershed Evaluation Group (WEG) at the University of Guelph is recruiting one PhD or MSc/MA student to join their research program on evaluating the cost-effectiveness of agricultural conservation programs. Work will integrate environmental, economic, and social dimensions within watersheds.
