River flow responses to heat waves may change more rapidly under climate change, research finds
A pair of studies by researchers in Simon Fraser University's School of Environmental Science examine how climate change could alter the way Canadian rivers respond to extreme heat events. In the first study of more than 860 river basins across Canada, SFU postdoctoral fellow Sam Anderson and environmental science professor Shawn Chartrand investigated how rivers […]
Science of sediment transport key to river conservation and protection
New research from SFU’s Jeremy Venditti dives into the science of going with the flow predicting the evolution of the Earth’s surface.
Rain, rain, go away: SFU chemistry team discovers new waterproofing solution
A new coating solution discovered by researchers at Simon Fraser University can transform regular materials into waterproof surfaces. The product will be cheaper to produce, free of harmful fluorinated compounds, and effective on a variety of materials. Their research findings have been published in Nature Communications. SFU chemistry professor and project lead Hogan Yu estimates that […]
