Breaking boundaries in water research

We are thrilled to share that Water Institute member Dr. Maria Strack has been recently named Tier 1 Canada Research Chair (CRC) in Wetland Climate Solutions. This prestigious Chair builds on her previous role as CRC in Ecosystems and Climate, expanding her focus to more directly support Canada’s climate goals through wetland conservation, restoration and sustainable use. Backed by $1.4 million in funding, this new Chair will drive forward research at the intersection of wetlands and climate action.

The world’s longest continuous water quality dataset has inspired an unexpected artistic creation — a new piece of music that tells the story of the River Thames through sound.

Roy Brouwer, Professor in the Department of Economics, University Research Chair in Water Resources Economics, and Executive Director of the Water Institute, has been appointed to the Science Advisory Board – Science Priority Committee of the International Joint Commission (IJC), a binational partnership between Canada and the United States managing shared waters.
