An engineering professor at the University of Waterloo has won a national award to pursue her research in the field of carbon nanotechnology.
Two Water Institute members will receive funding for equipment and tools to support COVID-19 research.
Their projects are among 79 across Canada named in an announcement today of close to $28 million in research infrastructure support through the Canada Foundation for Innovation’s (CFI) Exceptional Opportunities Fund by the Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry.
Andrea Scott, a professor in the Department of Systems Design Engineering, will receive $214,000 in federal funding for a project to forecast the presence of medium-range sea ice using artificial intelligence.
Nadine Ibrahim, Turkstra Chair in Urban Engineering, shares her insights in Urban Infrastructure: Reflections for 2100, a collection of science fiction short stories, essays and poems.
PhD student studies how a changing climate and mitigative policies can impact the water economy in the Saskatchewan River Basin.
A changing climate, societal pressures, and increasing water consumption, all challenge water security around the globe and threaten water-dependent economies. While Canada is considered water-rich worldwide, this perceived water abundance is more a myth than a reality. No region in Canada exemplifies future threats to water security more than the semi-arid prairies in Western Canada – home to 80% of Canada’s agriculture.

Last November, one hundred women from around the world were a part of the 2019 cohort of Homeward Bound’s women in Science, Technology, Engineering, Math and Medicine (STEMM) expedition to Antarctica.
After four years of transformative research, the Global Water Futures (GWF) program—the world’s largest university-led freshwater research program — is launching the second phase of its seven-year mission with 12 new critically important water security projects. Five of those projects are led by University of Waterloo researchers.
