Dr. Taru Manyanga with the UBC Master of Physical Therapy – North program at UNBC is bringing together youth and other key partners to develop interventions for youth physical activity engagement across northern B.C.

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.

Researchers at UNBC, Thompson Rivers University and the the University of British Columbia's Okanagan campus are collaborating to tackle some of the region's most pressing issues. A renewal of the Interior Universities Research Coalition will ensure this important research continues.

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.

Join UNBC's Water and Sanitation Holistic Technologies (WASH-T) Research group for a conversation on off-grid solutions to water and sanitation challenges in small and rural communities.

From studying the impact of glyphosate-based herbicides on the ecosystem, to better understanding income inequality to a renewed Canada Research Chair in Humanities and Health Inequities, UNBC researchers are fostering local solutions for a global impact.

In her next phase as a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair, Dr. de Leeuw will focus on internationalizing her work in arts-based health research and further examine how this area of study can help improve patient care and address healthcare disparities.

The Centre for Technology Adoption for Aging in the North will utilize its connections across the region to introduce and validate innovative new technologies in healthcare aimed at advancing patient outcomes and equity in treatment.

In a first for UNBC, Ecosystem Science and Management Associate Professor Dr. Lisa Wood has garnered an Alliance Society grant from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada to lead a five-year project aimed at better understanding the extent of the impact of glyphosate-based herbicides on forest systems.
