Opening June 25 at Legacy Downtown, a new exhibition features 12 artists including seven from fine arts engaging in a dynamic dialogue involving diverse perspectives on art, ecology and activism.
UVic’s ocean women in social sciences are scientists and researchers who are making a difference with work that honours, values and promotes the benefits of collaboration and cooperation.
UVic researchers work with global partners to launch a website dedicated to providing free access to FishSounds. Understanding the sounds made by fish can help to determine the best approaches to address marine pollution and climate change ocean impacts.
UVic biology professor emeritus, Verena Tunnicliffe, is named an officer of the Order of Canada for her contributions to ocean sciences and for being a pioneer in the scientific exploration of the deep sea.
Three UVic researchers are part of a project that was awarded $24 million on Wednesday to study an existential topic: the survival of life on Earth.
UVic welcomes two inaugural UVic Impact Chairs—Amanda Bates (biology) and Heather Castleden (School of Public Administration)—to five-year research positions.
New research by Indigenous knowledge holders shows the cumulative effects of industry on declining populations of moose, black bears, and lynx in the Canadian oil sands.
UVic welcomes four Banting fellows.
Kelly Richardson has been invited by the UN Convention on Biological Diversity to be part of a global collaborative artwork celebrating the world's biodiversity and urge for its protection.
A new study led by marine biologist Amanda Bates highlights the dual role that humans play in both threatening and protecting species and ecosystems. Bates joins UVic in July as professor in biology and as UVic Impact Chair in Ocean Ecosystem Change and Conservation.
Alumni Bryce Jones (BSc ’16) and Angelique Ahlstrom (BA ’15, MA ’17) are part of a team growing a drone reforestation company to help in the battle against climate change.
On World Oceans Day, two geography graduate students are preparing for immersive field work to study kelp forests on the remote central BC coast. Adhering to strict COVID-19 protocols, Brian Timmer and Lianna Gendall will be self-isolating for 14 days before they embark on their trip.
In one of the first studies to assess the direct impact of heat stress on reef fish, University of Victoria biologists assess the direct impact of heat stress on reef fish.
Fish air movement sounds—farts, burps and coughs—are music to fish ecologists’ ears when it comes to discovering biological sounds in freshwater habitats, giving scientists a better understanding of aquatic ecosystems and potential threats from human-caused noises.
