*Please note: Professor Cordeau's seminar will be held on Friday November 28th, at 2:30 p.m., as opposed to the regularly scheduled seminars on Mondays.
Join in marking the twenty-fifth anniversary of the École Polytechnique de Montréal tragedy honouring the women who lost their lives and commemorating the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.
Dr. Althea Grundling, Agricultural Research Council, Institute for Soil, Climate and Water, South Africa, will deliver a seminar: South African Peatlands.
Not all wetlands in South Africa are peatlands. Peatlands are characterised by the unique ability to accumulate and store dead organic matter from wetland vegetation under almost permanent water saturated conditions and low oxygen content. Peat is, therefore, not only a resource for soil carbon but also fresh water.
Dr. Thomas Harter, the Robert M. Hagan Endowed Chair for Water Management and Policy, Department of Land, Air and Water Resources, University of California, Davis, will deliver a Water Institute Lecture: Future of Groundwater Management in California.
Abstract
ALISSA NORTH
University of Toronto
Ontario’s wholesale electricity market is the hub at the centre of our system matching buyers and suppliers in real time, ensuring reliability and efficient dispatch all the time.
In many respects this dynamic marketplace, administered by the IESO, has been the unsung hero of the Ontario electricity sector accommodating the once in a lifetime changes that are occurring – phase out of flexible coal-fired generation, renewables, smart meters and step changes in technology advancement such as energy storage.
