Protecting coastal communities from climate change

Socially, badly eroded or submerged coastlines would affect millions who live in places such as New York, Prince Edward Island and Shanghai. To help people at least consider the unknown, and prepare for the worst, several Waterloo researchers are participating in a five-year, $2.5-million project called the Partnership for Canadian Caribbean Community Climate Change Adaption.

Using math to map climate change

University of Waterloo researchers bring gauges, satellites and their own keen eyes to the study of climate change. They are also using another tool — numbers. By feeding patterns and probabilities into computers, researchers can create numerical weather.

The trick to truth

Research at the University of Waterloo is getting to the truth about truth. People are more likely to believe something given as fact if it is backed up by something authoritative, such as a statistic. Jonathan Fugelsang of Waterloo’s psychology department, and Jason Ozubko of the psychology department at the University of Toronto, teamed up to publish a study that took the search for truth a step farther.

Moving beyond doubt

Everybody does it: Walk out of the house, close the door, then wonder whether the stove was turned off or the lights left on. For some, however, it becomes a debilitating loop. Christine Purdon, a clinical psychology professor at University of Waterloo, explores obsessive compulsive disorder.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg, and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
