CRI Training - 'Watersheds and Aquatics Training in Environmental Research'
CRI places a significant emphasis on the education and training of undergraduate and graduate students through regularly offered university courses taught by CRI Fellows and Associate Fellows.
We offer non-credit courses for students and professionals in aquatic sciences. We are also interested in developing new professional courses based on need/demand.
In May 2010, UNB/CRI received NSERC CREATE funding to develop and support a training program for graduate students called "WATER" - Watersheds and Aquatics Training in Environmental Research. This moniker will now also encompass the entire CRI Training and Professional Development division and courses and training opportunities will be cross-listed here and also on the main UNB WATER website. These courses are available to students and professionals alike unless indicated otherwise.
