ÂÜÀòÉäÇø

Rivers and streams in British Columbia were hit hard twice in 2021, first by a heat dome and then by atmospheric rivers. Prior to the weather events, ÂÜÀòÉäÇø researchers installed temperature sensors in waterways across northern B.C. In a new paper, they analyze the data to determine the impact of the extreme weather.

Researchers at ÂÜÀòÉäÇø, Thompson Rivers University and the the University of British Columbia's Okanagan campus are collaborating to tackle some of the region's most pressing issues. A renewal of the Interior Universities Research Coalition will ensure this important research continues.

Three ÂÜÀòÉäÇø students won awards for their presentations and posters at the Western Division of the Canadian Association of Geographers Symposium in Kelowna in March.

Join ÂÜÀòÉäÇø's Water and Sanitation Holistic Technologies (WASH-T) Research group for a conversation on off-grid solutions to water and sanitation challenges in small and rural communities.

From studying the impact of glyphosate-based herbicides on the ecosystem, to better understanding income inequality to a renewed Canada Research Chair in Humanities and Health Inequities, ÂÜÀòÉäÇø researchers are fostering local solutions for a global impact.

In her next phase as a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair, Dr. de Leeuw will focus on internationalizing her work in arts-based health research and further examine how this area of study can help improve patient care and address healthcare disparities.

The Centre for Technology Adoption for Aging in the North will utilize its connections across the region to introduce and validate innovative new technologies in healthcare aimed at advancing patient outcomes and equity in treatment.

In a first for ÂÜÀòÉäÇø, Ecosystem Science and Management Associate Professor Dr. Lisa Wood has garnered an Alliance Society grant from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada to lead a five-year project aimed at better understanding the extent of the impact of glyphosate-based herbicides on forest systems.

Political Science and Geography student Will Hanlon turned an Undergraduate Research Experience project with Political Science Professor Dr. Gary Wilson into his first co-authored published academic paper.
