Congratulations to MSc student Ben Woodward (Earth Sciences) for receiving the prestigious King Charles III Coronation Medal.
Mackenzie Jeffrey James Sluys is working to quantify greenhouse gas emissions from eight restored wetlands across southern Ontario.
Daniel Dudziak and Olivia Clay explored lush rainforests and sandy beaches, zipped through the treetops, and trekked the trails around a volcano while studying emerging issues in ecology, hydrology, and geology. Learn more about their adventure as part of a Global Skills Opportunity!
Olla Mohamad Ahmed Obied, an international student from Sudan, embarked on her academic journey to Canada five years ago to study Geoscience at the University of Waterloo. Now she is set to cross the stage this June as class valedictorian and receive her degree as she moves on to a career in geoscience engineering.
Professor Chris Yakymchuk is the 2024 recipient of the Geological Society of America Mineralogy, Geochemistry, Petrology and Volcanology (MGPV) Division Early Geological Career Award. This award recognizes Yakymchuk’s ground-breaking early career accomplishments.
Dr. Stephen Evans is a leader in geohazards research, focusing on landslides in Canada. His contributions to research and public education were recently recognized by the Association of Environmental and Engineering Geologists (USA) and the Canadian Geotechnical Society, who honoured him with this year's Schuster Medal Award.
The Faculty of Science's very own Dr. Rebecca Rooney and Dr. Nandita Basu were featured on the latest episode of The Water Brothers to discuss the importance of preserving wetlands and their economic and environmental benefits.
Jane Ye’s research interests lie in how contaminants and nutrients move around and interact in soils, sediments, surface water, and groundwater. Her master’s research project focuses on petroleum hydrocarbons and how they naturally biodegrade into carbon dioxide and methane in soils under different temperature and moisture conditions.
When it came time to apply to a doctoral program, Dr. Tyler Hampton was recruited to Waterloo because of his desire to take his knowledge of biogeochemistry and apply it to study wildfires and forest harvesting.
University of Waterloo and the Faculty of Science celebrates three new Banting Fellows: Joshua Fee (Physics and Astronomy), Ian Roberts (Physics and Astronomy) and Saraswati Saraswati (Earth and Environmental Sciences).
