december 13, 2023 – orillia, ont.

阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 researcher dr. ellen field is leading a project to support and accelerate the integration of climate change education in teacher education programs across canada.

the two-year project will support professional learning experiences in climate change education for those studying in professional programs, and provide professional development opportunities for those already in the teaching profession.

field, an assistant professor in the faculty of education, has received $449,000 from environment climate change canada (eccc) to lead this project in partnership with dr. hilary inwood from the ontario institute for studies in education (oise) at the university of toronto.

“our research has shown that there is a clear need to support teachers with climate change education and resources,” says field.

“this is an opportunity for us to work with teacher education programs to embed the concepts of climate change education in pedagogy and teacher training practices. doing so will ensure that teachers entering k-12 classrooms have a solid understanding of climate change, as well as how to teach this content in effective, justice-oriented, and experiential ways.”

over the next two years, field and inwood, along with a team of graduate 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , will deliver five components, including a national e-course in climate change education for both pre-service and in-service teachers, a webinar series focused on teacher education and the other on k-12 formal education, a national roundtable on climate change education, and accelerator seed grants for faculties of education to improve climate change education.

“if we want to improve climate change education and environmental and sustainability education in formal education systems, we need to strengthen these in teacher education programs,” states inwood.

“this project will help faculties of education establish new policy and improve their course and extracurricular programming in climate change education through accelerator seed grant funding. this is a critical step in ensuring the central role of all levels of education in addressing the climate crisis.”

december 7, 2023 – thunder bay and orillia, ont.

research infosource has named lakehead the number three university in canada in the undergraduate category of its annual research university of the year assessment. 

lakehead was ranked in the top spot from 2015 to 2019 — the first time an institution in research infosource's undergraduate category was ever ranked research university of the year five years in a row. 

lakehead president and vice-chancellor dr. gillian siddall said she is proud that the university has returned to the podium. 

“thank you to our researchers and their partners for an exceptional year,” dr. siddall said. 

“kudos must also go to the hard work and dedication of our offices of research services and innovation, partnerships and economic development, which have helped put 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 among the highest-ranked universities in canada and around the world.” 

lakehead’s placement with the top of the country’s undergraduate universities category is based on the university standing out on a balanced scorecard of research inputs and outputs, according to the annual ranking of canada’s top 50 research universities by research infosource, canada’s source of research and development intelligence. 

dr. andrew p. dean, lakehead’s vice-president, research and innovation, said he was very pleased to rank in the top three universities in canada in the undergraduate category. 

“this ranking reflects the impact and importance of the research that is happening at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 . we continually place among the top universities in the country for citations and research funding. in northern ontario, we are the trusted expert for knowledge transfer that leads to innovation and economic development,” dr. dean said.

one of the research outputs being measured is not-for-profit research income. within this category, 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 is number one in canada for three years in a row

“this ranking reflects our commitment to working with numerous partners across our regions as we address such current challenges as health-care inequities, food insecurity, housing access, and climate change. 

he added that lakehead’s recently extended research plan, 2024 - 2026, is built around five key priorities and it reflects areas of importance and future growth within the regions the university serves. 

“阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 continues to be a research-intensive university and views research and innovation as an important economic driver for our regions,” dr. dean said.

research infosource’s calculation of its research universities of the year involves examining several factors, including the total amount of sponsored research funding received by each university, research intensity per faculty (total research income per faculty member), research intensity per graduate student (total research income per graduate student), total number of publications, publication intensity, and publication impact. 

“excellent scholarly research combined with research leadership have put lakehead among the research leaders in its tier,” said ron freedman, ceo of research infosource inc. 

“especially notable is the high level of research income coming from partnerships and collaborations from 2018-2022, which is a strong indicator of research relevance.”

世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and faculty installing equipment to measure wetland greenhouse gas emissions at cawthra mulock, a newly constructed wetland near newmarket.


november 29, 2023 – orillia, ont.

researchers from 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 have found that freshwater wetlands are important nature-based solutions for the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions.

in a recent study published in the journal of geophysical research: biogeosciences, dr. florin pendea and co-authors dr. nanda kanavillil and dr. sree kurissery from lakehead, and dr. gail chmura of mcgill university, found that wetlands within the lake simcoe watershed were 50 percent more effective in storing carbon than other wetland ecosystems, second only to salt marshes that form along the shores of temperate seas.

“wetlands are important ecosystems because they have an enhanced capacity to extract carbon dioxide – a greenhouse gas – from the atmosphere and store it in the ground,” says dr. florin pendea, lead researcher and associate professor in the departments of sustainability sciences and geography and the environment at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 . “this ground storage is vital because it keeps carbon dioxide from increasing in the atmosphere where it causes global warming.”

pendea says that this research comes at an important time as countries around the world are looking at ways to mitigate climate change, including the federal government’s commitment to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

“the research is telling us that if freshwater marshes and swamps are protected, they can be important natural solutions in the mitigation of carbon dioxide emitted by human activity.”

pendea’s team, which included several undergraduate 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 from lakehead, spent three years collecting and examining soil properties and carbon accumulation rates over the last 100 years in swamps and marshes in the lake simcoe watershed. these wetland areas – beaver river wetlands, black river-zephyr creek wetlands, and the east holland river wetlands – are under increasing pressure from farming and urban development, a trend impacting much of southern ontario.

“we found that wetlands flooded more regularly are 60 percent more efficient in storing carbon long-term” explains pendea. “this means that wetland conservation, particularly preventing drainage of wetlands, is critical in maintaining vital ecosystem services they provide, such as carbon storage.”

for pendea, it also lends support to the case for wetland restoration through re-wetting as an important nature-based climate solution for mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions in areas where they were already drained for agriculture and other purposes.

while this research already has important policy implications, the work is far from over. this summer, pendea started a new project in collaboration with chmura and the lake simcoe region conservation authority, which explores the value of constructed wetlands – wetlands purposefully created in areas not suitable for other uses – as a way to increase the lake simcoe region’s capacity to mitigate future greenhouse gas emissions for generations to come. in addition to evaluating soil carbon storage capacity, this project will directly document the greenhouse gas balance in these novel ecosystems.

“we hope to provide a baseline for southern ontario and ascertain whether constructing new wetlands is a good idea from a climate perspective, particularly with respect to methane and nitrous oxide emissions” explains pendea. “these greenhouse gases have a much higher global warming potential than carbon dioxide”.

“we’ve always known that wetlands are really important for biodiversity and for water quality,” explains bill thompson, manager, watershed plans and strategies, lake simcoe region conservation authority. “this research demonstrates that they’re also really important in addressing greenhouse gas emissions, even in an area like the lake simcoe watershed, which is undergoing rapid land use change. we’re hoping to use this information to assist municipalities in our watershed, and across the gta, in incorporating ‘nature-based climate solutions’ in their climate change strategies.”

this research was funded in part by the lake simcoe region conservation authority.

dr. david tranter’s framework for supporting both student well-being and achievement from kindergarten to grade 12 has been officially adopted by the prince edward island government to be used in schools province-wide.

while his “third path” framework is used by educators all across canada, pei is the first province to implement it at a government level. the framework, as outlined in dr. tranter’s book, “the third path: a relationship-based approach to student well-being and achievement,” emphasizes the role that educators play in supporting student mental health, promoting equity, and practicing in a trauma-sensitive manner.

says dr. tranter, “i’m thrilled to be working closely with educators all across pei and look forward to being an ongoing part of outstanding work already underway”. for more information about dr. tranter’s work, visit www.thirdpath.ca.

professors from lakehead and villanova universities are studying fish to create underwater robots

december 18, 2023 – thunder bay, ont.

a 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 professor and a professor from villanova university are studying how fish use navigation and propulsion to help them create underwater robots, thanks to funding from nserc.

dr. muhammad khalid, assistant professor in mechanical engineering, received a $25,000 alliance international catalyst grant from the national sciences and engineering research council of canada for his project to build an international research partnership with dr. chengyu li from villanova university, and jointly investigate fluid-structure-chemical interactions in marine environments.

over one year, they will study the “mysterious but very effective techniques adopted by fish in natural aquatic conditions,” dr. khalid said.

“these fish will provide us with lessons to design and develop efficient, agile, stealth, and highly maneuverable underwater robots.”

“we will study how fish sense the presence of predators, prey, food, and mating partners through fluctuations in velocity and pressure in the surrounding water. we want to learn how odour signatures and chemical cues help fish navigate in complex underwater environments,” he said.

the researchers will study how different fish, for example carangiform (jack fish, tuna, salmon), and anguilliform (eels), effectively control fluid dynamics through their kinematics to send and receive chemical cues.

they will investigate how natural aquatic swimmers use chemical odours for their navigation and propulsion.

fish use these elements as important natural sensing and detection methods, but they are still relatively misunderstood by the scientific community.

using the basics of natural swimming to design fish-like underwater robotic platforms form the main goals of this project. the researchers will develop mathematical models and perform computational simulations to investigate and understand odour-guided propulsion of fish-like bodies.

“the findings of this project will reveal important leads for developing bio-inspired techniques and equipment for sensing, detection, navigation, and propulsion of highly interdisciplinary underwater robots,” dr. khalid said.

the success of this project is expected to bring the canadian scientific community and marine engineering industry at the forefront of environment-friendly underwater engineering technologies for a variety of purposes.

these include securing the borders, subsea explorations for natural resources, rescue and search operations, and several other opportunities.

in 2022/23, 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 received more than $2 million in assistance from the research support fund to support the indirect costs of research, which includes costs for supporting the management of intellectual property, research and administration, ethics and regulatory compliance, research resources, research facilities, and research security.
