Chlorophyll analysis on the Rideau River.
Climate change in the Arctic, selected results from International Polar Year research, and emerging tools-all were topics for discussion at this research and policy symposium on Arctic biodiversity. Held on November 18-19, 2010, the event was part of the museum's commitment to the 2010 International Year of Biodiversity.
The evolutionary story of seals is rewritten by a new fossil from Canada's High Arctic. The story of the find, the fossil, and the research is complemented by 3D interactive models, photos and illustrations, video and more.
This international programme of coordinated scientific research and observations focussed on the polar regions. The museum participated through scientific research projects, and through public programmes such as a lecture series, podcasts of the lectures, and youth forums.
How can we keep the Frenchman River healthy? This question brought biologists, social scientists and residents of southwest Saskatchewan together. They studied the river, looking at such aspects as its health, impacts of local activities, biodiversity, and even the different points of view of the residents about it.
A detailed portrait of the Rideau River in Ontario was painted by this comprehensive study. Aimed at a general audience, the web site showcases the animals and plants of the river, publishes research results, offers tips on how to get into action to protect biodiversity, and more. A guide for teachers complements the information and the wealth of photos and videos.
