Research Facilities

The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences houses a number of world-class laboratory research facilities, some of which operate as regional facilities with significant use by researchers outside of Earth and Environmental Sciences. Most of these labs are used for honours and graduate student teaching and thesis research. Some labs are staffed by university funded technologists, while other labs have grant- or contract-funded technicians. A number of the labs operate mainly as support facilities for teaching and research programs, and offer for teaching and research programs, and offer services to the community at large.
