Located on Macdonald Campus, many would mistake the Brace Water Centre's unassuming office for a private residence. Yet looks can be deceiving – for not only does the Centre boast an extraordinary history, it’s also associated with some of the University’s most exciting scientific researchers.
As Canadians experience a year of record-breaking wildfires, floods, and extreme heat, experts are warning that these conditions will persist and likely intensify over the coming decades as we experience the escalating effects of climate change and global warming. These impacts are being felt even more acutely in northern regions of the planet, where temperatures are rising at four times the global rate.
The Brace Water Centre (Brace) welcomes members from the McGill research community who are working on water-related issues. Membership is open to faculty members, post-doctoral fellows, research associates and graduate students.
Il faut parfois s’attarder aux petits détails pour avoir une vue d’ensemble. C’est ce que fait Subhasis Ghoshal, professeur de génie civil à l’Université McGill [et le Centre Brace pour la gestion des ressources de l'eau], qui s’intéresse à la présence de nanoparticules de métal dans les eaux usées. Il souhaite évaluer le risque de contamination des sols lorsque les boues issues du traitement des eaux municipales sont recyclées en milieu agricole.
