Connect with the University of Toronto’s entrepreneurship community, including startups, accelerators, and ecosystem partners at the True Blue Expo on March 6. Visit the Climate Positive Energy booth as part of True Blue Expo 2025. As part of the Expo, speak with the founders of over 40+ of U of T’s top startups who will […]

In this presentation, contrasting case studies highlighting natural (baseline) and anthropogenically impacted landscapes will be discussed. The focus will be on identifying and linking physicochemical processes to microbial community function using emerging omics for geochemical applications and ascertaining novel contaminant bioindicators. In many cases the activity of microorganisms can directly impact the chemical conditions in […]

Organized by the Institute for Environment, Conservation and Sustainability (IECS), in partnership with Another Story Bookshop, Harbinger Media and the National Observer. The wealthiest are the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, but it’s marginalized and working-class communities that bear the brunt of climate impacts. Join us for a roundtable discussion on the unequal burden […]

Organized by the Institute for Environment, Conservation and Sustainability, co-sponsored by Centre for Diaspora and Transnational Studies, School of the Environment, and the Centre for Comparative Literature. Matt Huber is professor of geography at Syracuse University and the author of Lifeblood: Oil, Freedom, and the Forces of Capital (U of Minnesota P) and Climate Change […]

The early evolution of life on Earth was intimately coupled with the development of the oceans' chemical composition and redox conditions. The biogeochemical processes of the ancient oceans – today reflected in the chemical and isotopic compositions of sedimentary rocks – are studied by comparing the rock compositions with the chemical and isotope fractionation patterns […]

Corrosion of reinforcing steel is the most common cause of premature degradation of reinforced concrete structures, giving rise to large economic costs and imposing safety risks. Additionally, the construction sector is among the most important contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, the environmental impact is becoming an increasingly important consideration in the design of new […]
