Marine heatwave impact on corals worse than previously thought
As the world grapples with hot ocean temperatures, new UVic research shows marine heatwave coral impact is worse than we thought before.

Injecting CO2 into ocean basalt has almost no risk of triggering seismic activity like earthquakes or fault slip according to new research from Solid Carbon, a climate change mitigation project.
Five research teams, two based at UVic, receive $180,000 each from the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions’ Opportunity Project Program.
Today’s announcement by the Office of the Secretary to the Governor General states Kate Moran is receiving her appointment “for her innovative leadership as a researcher, policy advisor and administrator in ocean engineering and climate action.”
We’re celebrating the achievements of Spring Class of 2023 with nine in-person convocation ceremonies, two honorary-degree recipients and more than 3,900 grads completing their studies at UVic.
UVic is 1st in Canada for climate action and in the global top 10 for impact, according to the 2023 Times Higher Education Impact Rankings. THE scores universities and colleges for how they are responding to UN goals to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure peace and prosperity.
The University of Victoria’s cycling network is about to see some major improvements thanks to new funds from the Government of Canada.
News of alcohol’s harms and costs has dominated headlines post-COVID. The Canadian Alcohol Policy Evaluation (CAPE) Project, led by UVic’s Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research (CISUR), brought together researchers from institutions across Canada to evaluate alcohol control policies federally and in all 13 provinces and territories. Today, they release their results alongside evidence-based solutions to improve health and well-being.
With a $83.6-million boost, UVic will lead a will lead a national, multi-partner research initiative that will help get Canada to net zero—one community at a time.
UVic’s new BSc in Climate Science is unique in North America, linking science and social sciences to prepare students to face the future with skills that turn climate science into real action.
The University of Victoria is launching a first-of-its-kind Canadian graduate training program that will capitalize on UVic’s climate research excellence to prepare the next generation of graduate students with the transdisciplinary skills and experience they will need to tackle the climate crisis head-on.
Marine heatwaves triggered by climate change pose an imminent threat to the world’s coral reefs. But most reefs are also exposed to local stressors, ranging from coastal development, pollution and overfishing. Few studies take into account how stressed-out reefs respond to heatwaves until now.
