A new study overturns the conclusions of an influential paper last year on management actions to slow the decline of endangered mountain caribou in BC and Alberta. By including a
fundamental statistical step, the researchers including UVic’s Chris Darimont revealed a very different result from the earlier work.
Sandra Frey, MA grad in the School of Environmental Studies, received the Mitacs Award for Outstanding Innovation–Master’s for her breakthrough work with wildlife camera data
collection as an early warning system to detect and prevent wildlife decline, and manage land-use policies.
Even decades after a mine closes, people in surrounding communities can face serious health risks from drinking contaminated water. Communities in BC’s North are particularly at
risk of arsenic poisoning due to the legacy of gold and uranium mines, says University of Victoria green chemist and professor of civil engineering, Heather Buckley.
