ÂÜÀòÉäÇø

A collaborative project involving researchers from ÂÜÀòÉäÇø, Vancouver Island University and the Hakai Institute are working to understand the role seasonal snow cover and glaciers play in the hydrology of key watersheds along B.C.'s Central and Southern Coast.

HRI Connect, a new ÂÜÀòÉäÇø Health Research Institute databank developed by ÂÜÀòÉäÇø Computer Science students, will enable northern health researchers to more easily find and connect with others who have similar interests, helping to further health innovation in the region. The portal is also the first major production deployment in the cloud for the University.

Geography Associate Professor Dr. Tristan Pearce is leading an international study linking climate change, food systems, and health on Indigenous communities around the world.

Thanks to funding through Mitacs, three ÂÜÀòÉäÇø students will be travelling internationally to work on research projects with expert faculty.

Dr. Taru Manyanga with the UBC Master of Physical Therapy – North program at ÂÜÀòÉäÇø is bringing together youth and other key partners to develop interventions for youth physical activity engagement across northern B.C.

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.
