This cer­tifi­cate pro­vides spe­cial­ized train­ing to increase your pro­fes­sion­al capac­i­ty of man­ag­ing the aquat­ic resources in our envi­ron­ment. This pro­gram offers hands-on appli­ca­tions with real-world sit­u­a­tions and respon­sive edu­ca­tion. Stu­dents will enhance their pro­fes­sion­al skill-set and knowl­edge based on cur­rent research, reg­u­la­tions, and applications.

Course con­tent explores the man­age­ment, eval­u­a­tion, and mon­i­tor­ing require­ments of both sur­face water (hydrol­o­gy) and ground­wa­ter (hydro­ge­ol­o­gy) resources, as well as soil clas­si­fi­ca­tion and wet­lands delineation.

Envi­ron­men­tal pro­fes­sion­als work­ing with wet­lands and ripar­i­an areas, as well as in the fields of hydrol­o­gy, hydro­ge­ol­o­gy, and soil sci­ence, will ben­e­fit from this pro­gram. These cours­es are rec­og­nized by the Alber­ta Insti­tute of Agrol­o­gists as senior-lev­el agrol­o­gy cours­es relat­ed to entrance into the pro­fes­sion and to aug­ment core knowl­edge require­ments relat­ed to a prac­tice area in AIA.
