About 250 million years ago, the Permian-Triassic mass extinction killed over 80 per cent of the planet's species. In the aftermath, scientists believe that life on earth was dominated by simple species for up to 10 million years before more complex ecosystems could evolve. Now this longstanding theory is being challenged by a team of international researchers – including scientists from 鶹AV and Université du Québec à Montréal.
Three projects will fill knowledge gaps about the environmental and economic impacts of greenhouse gas emissions and strengthen Canada's capacity to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050

Alfonso Mucci, Emeritus Professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences,has been elected an American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fellow. He joins 53 other individuals in the 2022 Class of Fellows. AGU, a nonprofit organization that supports 130,000 enthusiasts to experts worldwide in Earth and space sciences, annually recognizes a select number of individuals as part of its Honours and Recognition program. Since 1962, the AGU Fellows Committee has selected less than 0.1% of members as new Fellows.

When did the Earth reach oxygen levels sufficient to support animal life? Researchers from 鶹AV have discovered that a rise in oxygen levels occurred in step with the evolution and expansion of complex, eukaryotic ecosystems. Their findings represent the strongest evidence to date that extremely low oxygen levels exerted an important limitation on evolution for billions of years.
unEarth is one of the finalists' andtheir platform and supplemental educator's manual are designed to reach out andteach youth about sustainability through environmental systems thinking.
group members have recently published a blog post with Cell Mentor, and a paper in Trends in Ecology.
, 鶹AV’s Climate Change Artist-in-Residence, will curate the Faculty of Science’s Bicentennial Science/Art Exposition, billed as a “celebration of science in all its forms”.
The art show organizers are calling on all members of the 鶹AV community to submit works in any medium, expressing what science means to them.
The deadline for submissions is October 31, 2021.
