Julia Rose
Julia completed her B.Sc. (honours) project at the Beaubassin Field Station, where she explored the breeding biology of Nelson's Sparrows (Ammodramus nelsoni) in saltmarsh and inland habitats. Nic McLellan (Ducks Unlimited Canada) was a key collaborator with this work. Julia is currently at optometry school in the UK.

Patrick Englehardt
Pat was an Earth & Environmental Sciences student who examined the seasonal changes in water chemistry of selected wetlands at the Beaubassin Field Station. Pat was co-supervised with Ian Spooner, and his project was supported in part by Ducks Unlimited Canada.

Ben Callaghan
Ben studied levels of mercury (Hg) deposited in Arctic seabird feathers, and how it varies across species in relation to the bird's position in the food web. Collaborators in his work include Birgit Braune, Jennifer Provencher, Grant Gilchrist and Tony Gaston, all from Environment Canada. Ben was co-supervised with Nelson O'Driscoll.

Nathalie Leblanc
Nathalie worked on her B.Sc. (honours) thesis developing mitochondrial DNA primers for Purple Sandpipers (Calidris maritima). This species is the northernmost wintering shorebird in North America, with many around Nova Scotia. She has developed the project now into an MSc, looking at population differentiation in this species. Natural Resource personnel from Nova Scotia and Maine are collaborators in this project. Nathalie was co-supervised with Don Stewart.

Ellen Boyd
Ellen's B.Sc. (honours) thesis looks at foraging trips of Leach's Storm-Petrel (Oceanodroma leucorhoa), and how those relate to colony location and marine habitats along Nova Scotia's eastern shore. She is also assisting Molly Simon (MSc) in her project examining declining eider populations. The project receives support from Randy Milton (Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources).

Taylor Betsch
Taylor is working on her B.Sc. (honours) thesis, looking at corticosterone (CORT) levels in eggs of common eiders (Somateria mollissima dresseri). The premise for her work is that CORT levels reflect stress in the laying female, and this may differ depending on the female's assessment of the relative security of her nest site. Randy Milton (Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources) and Brian Wilson are collaborators in this project.

Amanda Loder
Amanda is an Earth & Environmental Sciences student who is following up on Pat Englehardt's research in 2012. She is examining trace element levels in aquatic macroinvertebrates from certain wetlands at the Beaubassin Field Station, to assess if higher sediment or water levels of non-essential trace elements is reflected in levels in biota. This has implications for dietary uptake of top predators at the station, including waterfowl. Amanda is supported by an NSERC Undergraduate scholarship, and she is co-supervised with Ian Spooner. Her project is also supported in part by Ducks Unlimited Canada.

Lewis Mahon
Lewis is an Earth & Environmental Science student working on his B.Sc. (honours) project at the Eastern Shore Islands off Sheet Harbour, Nova Scotia. He's looking at biotransport of trace elements by colonial birds to the various islands in the area. Lewis is co-supervised by Ian Spooner, and a key collaborator in his project is Randy Milton from Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources.
