Unlocking seismic secrets under the sea

Team of researchers aims to better predict tsunamis in one of the world’s most earthquake-prone zones. Today, an international team of researchers will begin to install sensors on the seafloor near New Zealand, in a zone of intense seismic activity known as the “Ring of Fire,” to listen for earthquakes. Twenty ocean-bottom seismometers will be deployed off the coast of Wairarapa, an area prone ...

Discover the uOttawa research laboratory dedicated to recognition of children’s rights

Orange Shirt Day on September 30, instituted some 10 years ago, has been associated with the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation since 2021. It is now firmly entrenched in the minds of Canadians as a day of commemoration in honour of Indigenous children in Canada who were forced to attend Indian residential schools in violation of their rights, and those who did not return home.

Recognizing Africa’s innovation revolution: Leaders driving inclusive innovation receive Impact award

Solutions to some of society’s most important challenges require the right regulatory environment to drive innovation. Examples include pioneering models for access to educational materials, reimagining collaborative ways to transfer technology to fight climate change, and laying the groundwork for equitable access to life-saving medicines.

New program to make Ottawa a global centre of excellence in concussion research and care across the entire patient spectrum

Concussion is the most common brain injury impacting 400,000 Canadians annually, yet research to date has primarily focused on professional and high-performance athletes or military veterans, with little effort to integrate data collection across the full spectrum of patients. This siloed approach has greatly restricted the potential for new discoveries in brain health and insights related to indi...

Innovating to Bolster Canadian Scientific Research in French

The evidence of rapid climate change over the past few decades is urgently compelling us to rethink our relationship with our own environment. We know that the actions we must take are numerous and complex. But among these actions, the need for human communities to preserve and defend the diversity of our natural spaces is central to the strategies recommended. The situation finds its parallel in ...
