The Environmental Science & Technology (ESAT) Institute showcases environmental technology, services, and infrastructure at UVM and around the region. They go on various field trips and learn from experts in the field.
During the initial days of the Institute, students gather samples from local streams. Then, they analyze them at UVM's labs, comparing their data to other students' streams from around the state. They study stream health with a focus on stream chemistry, macroinvertebrate stream biology, and the physical landscape around the stream. By the end, students draw conclusions about their data in a scientific poster presentation.
"I loved seeing labs around UVM; I didn't know that there was so much cool stuff happening so close to us."
