Astronomers have discovered thousands of planets orbiting other stars, opening a new chapter in our understanding of the Universe and our place in it. In this month’s KPL astronomy talk, Dr. Michael Balogh will discuss how scientists find and study these distant worlds, and how upcoming technology will help us search for life beyond our solar system.

 

Join us for the 13^th Annual World Wetlands Day Research Symposium at the University of Waterloo. The event will consist of an undergraduate and graduate poster session and reception followed by a distinguished lecture by Dr. Hilary Dugan entitled, "Should we care about freshwater salinization?"
