Geography and Environmental Management graduate students from the Geospatial Club ran a successful workshop about Machine Learning for Geospatial Data. This event was held in collaboration with the Dana Porter Geospatial Centre.
We would like to congratulate Paul Parker, recipient of the Economic Developers Council of Ontario (EDCO) President's Award!
We are proud to have Dr. Steven R. Fassnacht, a professor of Snow Hydrology from Colorado State University, visit the University of Waterloo to present his research. Please join us in EV1-221 at 1:30 pm on Tuesday, February 5th, 2019 for his talk titled “Integration of Multi-disciplinary Data Sources to Understand Hydro-Climatic Change”.

Join the Waterloo Association of Geography Students (WAGS) in banning the sale of plastic on campus by the year 2025. Our first initiative is promoting the use of reusable straws and/or encouraging students, staff and faculty to refuse the plastic straw. We want to make University of Waterloo a leader in sustainability by eliminating the sale of wasteful plastics (water bottles, plastic bags, straws, unnecessary packaging, etc.) on our campus. The lemonade stand will run from 11:00am to 2:00pm in front of Dana Porter Library.
Global tourism accounts for 8% of total worldwide greenhouse gas emissions, four times more than previously believed, new research says.
Some gases, including carbon dioxide and methane, trap heat in the atmosphere, producing a "greenhouse effect," and so make the planet warmer. The amount of greenhouse gases released by a particular activity is referred to as its "carbon footprint."
