David Atkinson
New degree for a changing world
Media release
UVic’s new BSc in Climate Science is unique in North America, linking science and social sciences to prepare students to face the future with skills that turn climate science into real action.
Wildfire season
The wildfire season is heating up quickly in western Canada. The following UVic researchers are available to media for expert comment as we head into the hot summer months in BC and Alberta.
Expert on storms hitting coastal BC
UVic geographer David Atkinson is available to media for comment on the trio of powerful storms hitting coastal BC on Oct. 13 and through the weekend.
Ice-road research
The Ring
Driving on ice roads in the far north is a normal occurrence for geographer and storm expert David Atkinson. In late April, Atkinson and colleagues drove the ice road between Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk, and later flew up even farther to Ulukhaktok and Sachs Harbour (pop. 80 people). His purpose was to interview residents about the impacts of weather (especially storms), as he says, “who knows more about northern weather than the people most affected by it?”
