The Alaska Highway: Building Canadian Infrastructure Out of Wartime Necessity

Canadian War Museum

The construction of the Alaska Highway was a major feat of American and Canadian engineering that connected Dawson Creek, British Columbia and Delta Junction, Alaska. Built in just eight months, between March and November 1942, the highway was meant to strengthen the strategic position of the United States and Canada following Japan’s entry into the Second World War. This major transportation link connected Alaska and the Yukon with the South, and opened new locations to resource extraction

Karen Beauchemin – Cattle nutrition and greenhouse gases

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada

Dr. Karen Beauchemin is an award winning scientist who is recognized internationally for her cattle nutrition research to improve air quality and lessen the environmental footprint of the livestock sector. Thanks to the work of Dr. Beauchemin and her colleagues, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada is recognized as a world leader in reducing greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural activities. Dr. Beauchemin has developed strategies to reduce the enteric methane emissions from cattle, which is a

The University of British Columbia’s Jörg Bohlmann has helped sequence the genome of Canada’s most economically important tree, and his research could contribute to the protection of the boreal forest from the devastating threat of the mountain pine beetle By Christopher Pollon OnJörg Bohlmann’s first day as a post-doctoral fellow at Washington State University in 1995, his supervisor asked for a favour. Would he take a few months off his proposed study — researching the genetics of

Josie Gonzalez and the National Roundtable on the Environment

Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21

Josie Gonzalez is from the Philippines. She wanted to be a doctor, but her father thought that was not practical, so she became a Chemical Engineer and worked for the Forest Products Research Institute at the University of the Philippines before coming to Canada. She completed graduate studies in Forestry in the United States, and eventually came to Canada and worked with the federal Department of Agriculture and Forestry (and later Forintek when it was privatized). She also worked as an

Finding hotspots in the theory of plate tectonics

Algonquin college

Molly Gatt Algonquin College Journalism Program Pangea is the super continent made up of almost all of Earth’s land mass. Roughly 200 million years ago Pangea began to separate into different continents. But it was only a few decades ago that we fully understood why. The answer was plate tectonics and continental drift, the forces behind the large scale movements in the Earth’s lithosphere, which is made up of the Earth’s crust and the upper mantle. Today we know that the world is made up of

Alice Wilson overcame many barriers to become the first female geologist in Canada. She was unable to receive her PhD until she was 49 years old.

Alice’s adventures in geology

Algonquin college

Molly Gatt Women in Canada earned the right to vote from 1916-1919, with the exception of Quebec, where women were unable to vote until 1940. However, gaining higher education was a different matter entirely. Alice Wilson, the first female geologist in Canada, first attempted to receive her PhD in 1915. But she was denied for over a decade, only earning it in 1929 at the age of 49. Wilson had a lot of difficulty, as did most women in those days, having a position of authority in a male dominated

The last big fish in the ocean

Algonquin college

Molly Gatt Algonquin College Journalism Program In Finding Nemo, Nemo was the only clown fish to survive, even though his mother spawned thousands of eggs. Marine biologist Ransom Myers was the one who discovered that even though female fish spawn countless eggs each year, only three to five of their young will reach full maturity and reproduce. Who knew that the son of a cotton planter from Mississippi would grow up to become a famous marine biologist and conservationist working on Canada’s

Lawrence Morley played a role in developing and supporting the theory of plate tectonics.

When rocks were controversial

Algonquin college

Bryson Masse Algonquin College Journalism Program When Lawrence Morley first attempted to prove that plate tectonics could be solved by a mysterious undersea phenomenon, his theory was met with complete denial. It was not until months later, when two geophysics students at the University of Cambridge proposed a similar idea, that Nature, an eminent science journal, published the ground breaking conclusion. Today, plate tectonics help us to understand our planet’s history even better. The concept

Gerald Hatch’s global impact

Algonquin college

Bryson Masse Algonquin College Journalism Program Canada is known for its natural resources and the ways that we have extracted them from our countryside. And because of stewards like Gerald Hatch guiding the technological advances, responsible use and sustainability have taken a far higher priority. Hatch helped create new metallurgical practises, reduced the impact on our environment and created one of the most successful engineering firms in Canada. Hatch grew up in eastern Ontario, attended

Working for the weekend: how job safety is rooted in science

Algonquin college

Bryson Masse Algonquin College Journalism Program In 1974 a three-week wildcat strike at the Elliot Lake uranium mines provoked the Ontario government to action. Workers were suffering from the effects of working in hazardous environment. And the threat of injury did not end after leaving work; years of inhaling silica dust often caused the miners to suffer from silicosis and lung cancer. A professor from Toronto was asked to helm the inquiry that was called for during the workers’ job action
