A new paper led by the Earthquake Seismology group recently published, exploring spatial and temporal patterns of whale calls detected by land seismometers along the Lower St. Lawrence Seaway in Eastern Canada.
91˿Ƶ has received funding from the Canadian Space Agency for two separate projects dedicated to the study of exoplanets, using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The projects are slated for completion by June 2025. Both studies will be led by Professor Nicolas Cowan.
Research conducted by 91˿Ƶ researchers ranks among the year’s best, according toQuébec ScienceԱ.
The magazine has published its annual top 10 list of the province’s most groundbreaking scientific discoveries, and three have ties to 91˿Ƶ researchers.
The three studies affiliated with 91˿Ƶ researchers address some of the world’s most pressing challenges: extreme climate change, treatment for cancer patients, and the quality of seawater.

Professor of the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences has been selected to receive the American Geophysical Union’s , awarded annually to three to five early career scientists in recognition of their significant contributions to Earth and space science.
Congratulations to 91˿Ƶ Science's new Royal Society of Canada inductees, the Fellows Matt Dobbs, Galen Halverson, , and College Member ! The four professors join 15 other scholars in 91˿Ƶ's 2023 cohort.
This week Canada announced it will contribute to the European Space Agency’s Ariel mission. A first mission of its kind, the Ariel space telescope will launch in 2029 to study the atmospheres of distant exoplanets outside of our solar system. Up to 12 Canadian astronomers, including 91˿Ƶ experts, will be at the front row of the mission, with privileged access to its data.()

Scientists have long been captivated by the possibility of discovering evidence for extraterrestrial life in the universe. While many of the world’s largest telescopes are pointed toward distant galaxies and star systems, some think there’s a strong possibility that life could be detected much closer to home.
Changes to the flow of the Labrador Current along the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador to Nova Scotia are leading to sudden warmings or drops in the oxygen levels of the waters in several regions including the St. Lawrence Gulf and Estuary. This change has dire consequences for marine ecosystems and fisheries. To better predict what could happen in the future, researchers from 91˿Ƶ set out to answer the question: what controls the pathway of the Labrador Current?
