Ocean staff and researchers are conducting work aimed at creating solutions that not only targets some of Canada’s current and future climate needs, but also provides real-world solutions that have the potential to change the world’s climate issues.
Blue carbon research in Cowichan Bay
The salt marshes, mud flats and eel grass meadows of temperate river estuaries are more effective at capturing and storing greenhouse gases than young coastal forests and may sequester carbon for centuries, if not millennia, according to researchers from the University of Victoria (UVic).
UVic is proud to be recognized in the 2022 Times Higher Education Impact Rankings for our innovative and impactful research, campus operations and partnerships to protect the environment and improve conditions for the planet and people.
An Ocean Networks Canada-led initiative invites young people in Canada to get involved in creating a sustainable ocean future during the UN's Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, 2021-2030.
UVic’s ocean women in social sciences are scientists and researchers who are making a difference with work that honours, values and promotes the benefits of collaboration and cooperation.
UVic researchers work with global partners to launch a website dedicated to providing free access to FishSounds. Understanding the sounds made by fish can help to determine the best approaches to address marine pollution and climate change ocean impacts.
Ocean Networks Canada, an initiative of UVic, is expanding opportunities for women and girls in science with a new national project, the Ocean Decade Challenge.
UVic biology professor emeritus, Verena Tunnicliffe, is named an officer of the Order of Canada for her contributions to ocean sciences and for being a pioneer in the scientific exploration of the deep sea.
Prestigious scholarship program celebrates 10 years of creating tomorrow’s tech innovators.
New UVic Canada Research Chairs focus on Indigenous law, renewable energy research, substance use policy and marine fisheries adaptation.
A new global shows current levels of CO2 emissions greatly exceed the ability of nature to remove it from the environment, and reducing carbon emissions alone may not be enough to stabilize the climate.
UVic expands its breadth of expertise by actively recruiting new research chairs in the impact area of climate, environmental change and sustainability.
