Connecting the dots: discovering our ecology

Algonquin college

An Atmosphere for Innovation

Western University

In 1993, a team led by Western University researcher, Robert Sica, built and demonstrated the first practical applications of large liquid metal mirrors by integrating one into Western’s Purple Crow Lidar, which allows some of the highest time and space measurements of atmospheric temperature and composition in the upper atmosphere and improves knowledge of weather and climate phenomena.

Barometer: recording Canada's highest elevation

Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

This barometer is an aneroid type: an aneroid is a flexible metal chamber partially evacuated of air that is sensitive to changing air pressure. It can be used to record altitude as air pressure decreases with vertical distance from sea level. In climbing Mount Logan, expedition members identified Canada’s highest peak and helped to refine aneroid barometers as a tool for GSC surveyors. This barometer recorded the elevation of Canada’s highest mountain during a 1925 mountaineering expedition and
