Tom Gleeson’s far-reaching contributions to groundwater research and sustainability have earned him a prestigious President’s Chair—the highest academic honour UVic can bestow on a
faculty member.
A UVic hydrologist is one of an international group of scientists and experts who are calling for action to protect global groundwater resources—which makes up 99 per cent of the
Earth's liquid freshwater. Tom Gleeson is lead author of a Nature Correspondence article published this week that says we are not doing enough to protect and manage global groundwater resources
from contamination, salinization, depletion and neglect.
Five UVic projects, with $823,000 in new funding from a leadership fund from the Canada Foundation for Innovation as part of a $52-million federal investment announced Aug. 15,
will carry out ground-breaking research including in an aquatic disease research facility at UVic.
Dr. Tom Gleeson (engineering) has won the Early Career Award from the Hydrologic Sciences section of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) which goes to an international hydrology
researcher within six years of their PhD. Gleeson’s work focuses on mega-scale groundwater systems and groundwater sustainability.
