In Canada, climate change is altering local environmental patterns, damaging built infrastructure, causing acute injuries during natural catastrophes, and leading to chronic health issues. Rural and remote island and coastal communities have been disproportionately impacted by climate change and climate events. As such, climate scientists globally have been calling for climate change planning efforts and […]

People with spinal cord injury (SCI) want to work with researchers as research partners. However, people with SCI have said they do not feel like they have enough knowledge of the research process to be involved, or that researchers have only involved people with SCI in research for the researcher’s gain. To help people learn […]

Copper is typically extracted from secondary sulfide minerals using heap leaching, a relatively low-cost hydrometallurgical technique. In this process, leaching solutions are irrigated on top of a packed ore bed and percolate through the porous materials. Fe(III) is required as an oxidant in the extraction process and must be continuously regenerated to sustain the reaction. […]

The Quantum Algorithms Institute (QAI) brings together industry, academia, and the government of British Columbia and launches the first Quantum Software engineering bootcamp. The goal is strengthening and growing the quantum computing ecosystem in British Columbia and Canada. A major pain point for quantum computing startups is to onboard new researchers and train them on […]

Climate change predictions make it highly likely that Pacific salmon will be exposed to future water temperature extremes. Given the importance of cold water to maintain Pacific salmon, the availability of discrete cold-water patches in rivers/streams that can act as thermal refugia may become increasingly critical to protect salmon. Such refugia can be provided by […]
