It also serves as a lab for advanced ecological research. Thanks to a Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) grant, this new pavilion paves the way to advancing environmental research by linking the Gault Nature Reserve with the project’s research stations in the Saint-Lawrence Valley, and in different parts of the world.</p> Mon, 29 Aug 2022 14:53:59 +0000 shirley.cardenas@mcgill.ca 288337 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/measuring-social-impact-disruptive-weather-plus-other-stories-340751 <p>New research stories from ����ֱ��.</p> <p><img src="/newsroom/files/newsroom/disruptive_weather.jpg" style="width:100%" /></p> <h2>Using artificial intelligence to study the social impact of disruptive weather events</h2> <p>Does a “disruptive weather event” imply extreme weather?
