THE EDGE IS HERE
UVic is home to Canada's leading ocean and climate research
Dr. Francis Zwiers, Director of UVic's Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium, enables strategies
for better responses to climate change. PCIC science helps decision-makers mitigate risks from
sea level rise (portrayed here by the blue stripes painted under Vancouver's Cambie Bridge),
and events like wildfires, floods and droughts.
A False Creek by Rhonda Weppler and Trevor Mahovsky was commissioned by the City of Vancouver using projections
from the Nobel prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change on which Francis Zwiers participated.
