How can data help us better understand and strengthen resilience? Join the Department of Systems Design Engineering and the Waterloo Climate Institute for a talk with special guest Dr. Seth Guikema exploring data-driven approaches to assessing risks to power systems and communities, with a focus on extreme weather, climate change and new data sources.

From 10:30am to 4:30pm on Saturday we'll fill the Science Teaching Complex (STC) and Earth Sciences Museum (EIT) with opportunities for kids to explore science! This is a free event.

This workshop demonstrates how five AI enabled tools compare for finding literature.

Celebrate with the Libraries as we mark 50 years of Special Collections & Archives at the University of Waterloo.

Instructors will introduce key concepts behind generative AI, to help researchers understand how these technologies work and how they differ from traditional search tools.

In this workshop, we’ll walk through practical strategies for naming, storing and structuring your data so you can actually find what you need—without crying.

Explore institutional and publishing policies, examine copyright and privacy considerations, and discuss where generative AI can and cannot be appropriately used in the research process.

Zotero is citation management software that takes (most of) the pain of writing papers with citations. In this hands-on session, we will provide an overview of the software and help participants develop a level of familiarity with it so that they can begin working on their academic projects more efficiently.

Geared towards graduate students in the environmental sciences who wish to conduct a systematic review for either a thesis, coursework or journal publication, this workshop will outline systematic review methods and search strategy development through a combination of presentation and interactive activities.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a powerful, multi-disciplinary tool that is widely used across many industries. When paired with Open Data, users can explore data to gain new insights and a deeper understanding of the world around them.
