Just as McGill’s lush downtown and Macdonald campuses serve as green oases on the urban island of Montreal, McGill’s endeavours in sustainability research and environmental stewardship attract important conferences and lectures from Quebec, across Canada and around the world. Nowhere is environmental teaching and research more pervasive than among McGill faculty members, who are engaged in projects including new models of climate change and work on water scarcity.

    Biological Invasions – The Ecological and Societal Impacts of Non-native Species

    Dr. Anthony Ricciardi talks about “biological invasions” and how they can cause extinctions, disrupt ecosystems, alter natural resources, threaten human health, and even pose national security problems.

    Environmental change in Canada’s Arctic: how different is the present from the past?

    Arctic regions are experiencing high degrees of environmental change, including thinning of arctic sea ice, increased deposition of airborne pollutants, as well as evidence of a longer growing season. Marianne Douglas uses examples from our research on lakes and ponds in the Canadian High Arctic to show some of the practical applications of paleolimnology in studying regional climate change, archaeology, and airborne pollutants.

    How Might Global Warming affect the Variable Hydroclimate of Western Canada?

    Canada’s western interior has one of the world's most variable climates, with severe drought and torrential rainstorms experienced in recent years. The extreme climate events in this region have been some of the most costly natural disasters in Canada history. Climate models suggest that this hydroclimatic variability could be amplified by global warming — presenting a more challenging future scenario than the projected shifts in average conditions.
