西蒙弗雷泽大学

Resource and environmental management solutions emerge from interactions among the social and natural sciences. REM provides the opportunity to learn how key concepts, methods, and techniques from both social and natural sciences contribute to environmental management.

The Resource and Environmental Management major program is offered by the Faculty of Environment. It is also available as a minor that can be taken to complement any degree.

This major takes full advantage of the expertise existing across FENV units, characteristic of BEnv majors. It will prepare students to enter positions or continue in graduate studies in the broadly defined area of resource management, including fisheries, agriculture, forestry, cultural resources, energy and tourism. REM program requirements, directed by educational goals, provide students with a solid understanding of the interplay of historical, biophysical and socio-cultural factors; Indigenous/First Nations Perspectives; resource use and sustainability; geospatial, statistical and modeling methodologies; decision making, communication, conflict resolution, and legislative/regulatory frameworks as they relate to resource management.

The REM program requirements include courses from each of the areas of study in the BEnv core (i.e. earth systems, ecology, biology, human role in nature, the social and built environments, environmental stewardship and governance, and the global scale).
