Geography and Geology

A trio of researchers at Nipissing University have earned $265,000 in grants from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Council of Canada (NSERC) for work that provides a better understanding of our watersheds, creates new commercially useful chemical compounds more efficiently, and furthers scientific knowledge through the exploration of dimension theory.

In the face of harmful algae blooms popping up on Lake Nipissing, students and researchers at Nipissing University are working to better understand what is happening in the lake.

Nipissing University recently hosted the Lake Nipissing Research Conference, an opportunity to share ongoing research in the watershed and develop a strategic research plan for the lake. The conference grew out of, and will inform the Lake Nipissing Summit, which has been held each spring for the past three years.

Dr. Odwa Atari, assistant professor in the department of Geography at Nipissing University will be presenting a special lecture on Friday, November 4, titled Exposure to Ambient Air Pollution and Mortality in Sarnia: A Cohort Study.
