Celebrating research: Reaching new heights in science!

Dr. Kynan Hughson (Earth Sciences) and his team have been exploring features of the Chic-Choc Mountains in Quebec. From this work, we'll be better able to understand frozen landscapes and climate-driven changes.

Yesterday, we hosted a showcase of health research at UNB, highlighting just some of the work our community is doing to create healthier and better futures. A big thank you to all who joined us, and especially to all our presenters!
