Our people
University researchers collaborate with other Environment Canada scientists at UVic in order to enhance delivery on the scientific mandate of Environment Canada's .
A primary focus of W-CIRC's current research is participation in the hydrology, hydro-climatology, hydrologic-hydraulic modelling, sediment processes and ecological flow needs sub-components of the Water Quantity/Hydrology/Sediment program that forms part of EC's ‘world-class’ Oil Sands monitoring program. Additional areas of scientific foci are on the hydrologic and ecological impacts of atmospheric change and variability, particularly in the Canadian Arctic.
Also affiliated with the centre are Environment Canada scientists and research technicians located at the in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and the in Burlington, Ontario. Through the co-location model W-CIRC has established, grown and built a renowned network of academic scientists who are now working in collaboration to fulfill W-CIRC's program delivery as it relates to EC's mandate.
