Mining
Making artisanal mining safer and more sustainable
Graduates Keri Graumann and Dheeraj Alamchandani are using the tools and techniques of engineering as a way to advance social justice and global sustainability in artisanal mining.
Detecting mining's toxic leftovers
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.
Unwanted legacy
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 Heather Buckley, green chemist and professor of civil engineering at the University of Victoria.
CFI grants lay foundation for discovery
From a cheap and easy way for mining- impacted communities to test their drinking water to a powerful microscope able to observe the tiniest “workhorses” of our cellular system, UVic researchers are putting Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) grants to work to address some of the world’s most daunting problems.
Corporate Mapping Project
Data is part of any research process. And for PhD candidate Nicolas Graham, data can be transformed into a virtual map showing power and influence, in particular in the fossil fuel industry.
Looking at the fossil fuel industry
Who is steering fossil fuel extraction in Western Canada and what influence do they wield? These central questions are driving a six-year research and public engagement initiative, Mapping the Power of the Carbon-Extractive Corporate Resource Sector, with funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC). The project brings together researchers, civil society organizations and Indigenous participants to study the oil, gas and coal industries in British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan.
