English professor Dale Jacobs will launch his new book, On Comics and Grief, April 17 at Biblioasis.
The next time you look at the Great Lakes or wonder about Arctic communities, you will think about them a little differently because of the research of engineering students Vrashesh Vipul Karkar and Kwaku Gyau Gyamfi.
Karkar examined the water in Great Lakes Basin watersheds to assess the amount of microplastics that are present in the water. His research focuses on the quantities of microplastics humans are releasing into rivers and the Great Lakes, developing cutting edge modelling tools to quantify the microplastics being released.
Education professor Cam Cobb has written the first biography of rock legend Skip Spence.
Distracted driving is a worldwide problem, says professor Chris Lee, and preventing it is of global importance for improved road safety.
“There has been a startling rise in the number of fatal and seriously injured collisions linked to the widespread use of electronic gadgets in automobiles,” he says.
Dr. Lee, a professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, and Master’s student Larissa Dushime are collaborating with civil engineering professor Nicola Baldo at the University of Udine to compare driver behaviours in Canada and Italy.
A research team from Windsor Engineering is deploying autonomous underwater vehicles to gather samples from local waterways.
Climate change is sending polar bears through colonies of eider ducks, giving gulls access to their eggs, says researcher Andrew Barnas.
Mina Lee wants built infrastructure to adopt sustainable methods.
