Extreme weather results in drastic changes in waterways

Rivers and streams in British Columbia were hit hard twice in 2021, first by a heat dome and then by atmospheric rivers. Prior to the weather events, UNBC researchers installed temperature sensors in waterways across northern B.C. In a new paper, they analyze the data to determine the impact of the extreme weather.

Students shine at Geography symposium

Three UNBC students won awards for their presentations and posters at the Western Division of the Canadian Association of Geographers Symposium in Kelowna in March.

Learning diplomacy on the fly

UNBC students Sean Robinson and Will Hanlon put their diplomacy skills to the test as delegates at a Model NATO event in Germany last fall.

UNBC research group launches third phase of Nechako River Basin study

Building on earlier findings, the Integrated Watershed Research Group will embark on the third phase of an interdisciplinary research project with the overarching goal of enhancing readiness for comprehensive responses to the dynamic relationships between climate, water and communities within the Nechako River Basin.

Crowdsourcing air quality

UNBC researchers, in partnership with Environment and Climate Change Canada, created a national air quality map with the help of hundreds of citizens who installed low-cost, internet-enabled air quality sensors at home.

Research and Expertise

Youmin's research uses sophisticated numerical models and mathematical tools to predict seasonal climate and put confidence limits on the predictions - a significant new approach among researchers in this field. Previously, he has developed ENSO (El Nino Southern Oscillation) prediction models with the knowledge that more accurate seasonal climate prediction is of vital importance to various sectors of the economy: agriculture, forest management, fisheries, tourism, and power generation.
