Join the launch of UBC’s new pan-university initiative to connect researchers on climate change solutions. Learn about the initiative, engage with fellow UBC climate researchers, and contribute your ideas for the collective.
With COP28 in the United Arab Emirates just around the corner, join a panel of experts for a primer on how United Nations climate summits work, the pressing issues up for negotiation this year, and a question-and-answer period. This event is hosted by the UBC Climate Solutions Research Collective, a new pan-university initiative designed to […]
Alternatives to fossil fuels are needed and innovations in wind, solar and other renewable energies are progressing. However, the question of storage remains a challenge. Join UBC researchers Robert Godin (Chemistry) and Werner Antweiler (Business) in a discussion around the question of energy storage.
From e-scooters to electric vehicles, individuals are moving towards electric transportation options. What are the barriers and opportunities for widespread adoption of these options? Amir Hassanpour, PhD Candidate in Transportation Engineering and Climate Solutions Scholar, will host Mirtha Gamiz and Werner Antweiler in a discussion around the electrification of mobility. Organized by Climate Solutions Research Collective. Part of Climate […]

Researchers occasionally need high-quality historical climate data for locations not found near an official WMO weather station. One solution to this problem is to generate computer simulated climate data from actual measurements using downscaling techniques. ClimateNA is a climate software database that uses numerical methods to downscale and spatially interpolate a variety of climate variables […]
