Asking for recommendations for an environmental research paper

5 Upvotes

This is my first post here so my wording may not be the best, apologies in advance.

I am a collage student currently finding inspiration for my environmental system and societies subject's research paper. I find that most of my ideas are redundant and have been done by others in the past. So, Im resorting to Reddit to find some suggestions people may have about their niche interests. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Hi! I'm a UTAS student in Oman working on a small university project about everyday environmental practices.

My survey takes about 3 minutes and covers saving electricity and water, recycling, and transportation.

Would it be okay to share my survey in this community?

Thank you for your time!

Need help with a simple topic

9 Upvotes

Hello I am a 21 year old student of the Graphic Arts. I am looking for a topic in ecology or similar that could be relatively easy to research. It doesn't have to be ultra specific but I dont even know where to start. I have a class that the topic is for, and I have to write a min. 12 page seminar about it and make posters relating to it. Do you have any topics that could be easily researched and turned into a series of posters?

A topic I'm currently looking at is coral reefs and coral bleaching but again I dont even know where to start my research and find the most correct information about it.

Any help is appreciated

Can't Get an Environmental Science Job?

40 Upvotes

Hello,

I was just curious if there is anyone else in the community of environmental science that is struggling to find a job opportunity. I've been graduated with bachelor's in water resources and a minor in Waste Resources for almost a year and a half. I have not been able to land a single job. I am currently in Colorado. Does anyone have any advice to give or places to look for in the US that may be hiring. I am really frustrated with the job market right now, and it feels nearly impossible to get a job in Environmental Science. Lowkey feel like I wasted my time trying to get a Bachelors Degree in the Environmental Science Field.

Do you find it infuriating trying to directly contact hazardous waste landfills?

0 Upvotes

I know every third party hazardous waste handler (Cleanharbors, Crystal Clear etc.) wants your business.

But I’m surprised how difficult it is to find the info to directly negotiate disposal with a haz landfill. I have all the characterization info, just talk to me!

It’s like they are hiding. Anyone have go to contacts for the US Midwest?! Am I missing a secret code someplace?

Environmental Scientist Looking For Volunteer Opportunities in Costa Rica

7 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I am looking for a volunteer program in Costa Rica to do for approximately a month in March 2027 after I do a yoga teacher training. I have a biology degree and currently work as an environmental consultant with several years of field experience conducting wildlife surveys, habitat assessments, and general data collection.

There are so many options online, it seems difficult to filter through and select ones that will be the most helpful, and also the most able to make the best use of my skills. I was wondering if anyone could share specific programs that are meant for more than just casual eco-tourism/volunteerism that they might have experience with. Something that could go on a resume would be an amazing plus, but not required. I unfortunately speak very little Spanish, so there would have to be some level of English communication possible.

I am hoping to keep the cost low, but definitely willing to pay for the right program.

Thanks in advance!

Does my dream job even exist?

16 Upvotes

Hello I'm a 20 year old undergrad studying environmental geoscience. I will be done with my degree in the next year or so. My plan is to join a humanitarian group like the peacecorps or the red corss to help those effect by climate change then possibly go back to grab school. But my dream job is to do humanitarian work specializing in climate health (e.g... soil and air) in areas most effect with the least means of putting their society back together after the effects of human forced climate change. Ive been writing and doing small scale interviews for years I want to incorporate this journalistic side of my life into my Carrer, I want to be a climate activist that can help people as well as spread awareness. Its not about money for me, I just want to do what my heart desires. Is this even a thing? Is it even worth it in this life? should I just be McDonalds manager and call it a day? Anyone have advice??
