Join us Tuesday, February 11 at 7:00 pm for the first presentation in the UPEI Climate Research Lab Lecture Series. Dr. Adam Fenech, director of the Climate Research Lab, will present results from recent coastal erosion research projects conducted on Prince Edward Island. The change in PEI鈥檚 coastline has been measured mapped and analyzed from 1968 to 2010. Buildings, roads and bridges have been assessed as to their vulnerability to future coastal erosion and sea level rise. Come see how our communities will be affected. Dr. Fenech will present the results of this research including the unveiling of a new interactive 3-D geo-visualization tool known as CLIVE. CLIVE allows stakeholders to interactively explore PEI's coastline, and scenarios of future climate change, sea-level rise and storm surges. The presentation will take place in the Duffy Science Centre Amphitheatre, room 285 on the UPEI campus. For more information, contact the Climate Research Lab at (902)620-5221 or climate@upei.ca.

Join us Friday, January 24 at 2:30 pm in the second floor lounge of the Kelley Building to celebrate the first recipients of the Katherine Schultz Research Recognition Awards. Dr. Schultz, who served as UPEI's first Vice-President Research, established these awards to honour UPEI faculty, staff, and volunteers who play a critical role in supporting research endeavours. The research success of an institution rests fundamentally on the excellence, dedication, and insights of its researchers and their teams of collaborators, trainees, students, and technicians. However, their success also rests on the work of those who might be labelled the 鈥渦nsung heroes鈥� of the research enterprise 鈥� that is, those whose work behind the scenes make it all possible. Without the dedication, professionalism, and commitment of these individuals, our researchers and their research endeavours would be seriously constrained. Please join us for the awards; a small reception will follow. For more information, contact Dave Atkinson at 620-5117, datkinson@upei.ca.
