Our faculty, staff, research technicians and students are engaged in a wide variety of research in projects, labs, centres and groups.
Discover what areas of research our faculty are focusing on:
UVic alumna Paula McPhee co-owns Zero Waste Emporium with her husband, Nairn. The couple has received recognition for their green enterprise, including Ecostar and Surfrider Foundation awards.
Over the course of her life, mathematician Betty Kennedy contributed to the University of Victoria and the community in so many ways that to a non-mathematician they may seem countless. It is fitting with so much of the generosity that characterized her life that in her passing in 2019, Kennedy bestowed UVic with a $3.6-million gift.
Bryn Armstrong’s co-op office is different than most—she’s spending the fall keeping an eye on grizzly bears and other large carnivores in the Great Bear Rainforest.
While many factors have contributed to the dwindling numbers of salmon—historic overfishing, warming ocean temperatures, reduced river levels, hatchery competition, freshwater habitat destruction, and disease—it's difficult to pin down the most significant causes. UVic research Francis Juanes believes that many causes of salmon mortality occur early in life.
Julia Baum, an international rising star in marine conservation ecology and an outspoken advocate for science-based decisions on global issues such as climate change and overfishing, is UVic's newest Steacie Fellow.
