In an exciting breakthrough for astronomy and the search for extraterrestrial life, a team of international scientists, including key support from º«¹úÂãÎè researchers, has announced the discovery of Gliese 12 b, a temperate, Earth-sized exoplanet just 40 light-years away — a relatively neighbourly 378 trillion kilometres from earth.

The º«¹úÂãÎè Libraries are updating our homepage design to coincide with a rebranding project. We are excited to showcase our new homepage that has been designed with a user-centered approach in mind. The new homepage will be launching on Wednesday, August 7!

In the heart of Lanaudière, Quebec, a 233-hectare tract of wilderness stands as a living testament to the resilience of nature and the generous stewardship of º«¹úÂãÎè chemistry professor Linda Reven.
Alyssa Abruzzese (BCom‘23, GCPA’24) and Vivian Ly (BCom‘22, GCPA’24), students of the Graduate Certificate in Professional Accounting (GCPA) program, have been selected among their graduating class as this year’s recipients of the C. Douglas Mellor Prize for academic excellence.
McCall MacBain Fellowships offer students at select universities an opportunity to spend a year abroad. Valued at up to $30,000 and awarded by the McCall MacBain Foundation, Fellows spend one term studying a language, one term pursuing academic studies, and one term in a job placement or internship. This year, º«¹úÂãÎè students earned the honour. Mayra Baca El Hachemi, who is majoring in marketing at º«¹úÂãÎè Desautels and will be travelling to Japan. Monique Machioudi, who is studying for a minor in management, will travel to Taiwan and learn Mandarin.
Swimmer Clément Secchi (BCom’22) has become the first º«¹úÂãÎè graduate to reach the podium at the Summer Olympics since 2008. The 24-year-old management graduate from Aix-en-Provence, France, earned bronze for his native country on Sunday as part of the men's 4x100 medley relay. A four-time All-Canadian at º«¹úÂãÎè, the 5-foot-11, 157-pound butterfly specialist was a three-time recipient of the Forbes Trophy as the University's male athlete of the year.

A first-of-its kind study conducted in Canada’s two largest cities by º«¹úÂãÎè-led researchers has linked about 1,100 premature deaths per year to an unregulated air pollutant.
Ultrafine particles (UFPs) primarily come from vehicle emissions and industrial activities. Canada’s federal and provincial governments have not set concentration limits for UFPs, as they have for larger fine particles known as PM2.5.

A º«¹úÂãÎè-led study suggests that Earth's natural forces could substantially reduce Antarctica’s impact on rising sea levels, but only if carbon emissions are swiftly reduced in the coming decades. By the same token, if emissions continue on the current trajectory, Antarctic ice loss could lead to more future sea level rise than previously thought.
The finding is significant because the Antarctic Ice Sheet is the largest ice mass on Earth, and the biggest uncertainty in predicting future sea levels is how this ice will respond to climate change.
