To mark World Water Day 2022, here are a few examples of some of McMaster’s world-leading water research — from preserving oceanic, arctic and wetland ecosystems to tackling contamination in urban and rural waterways.
McMaster Biology Professor and ecologist Patricia Chow-Fraser says the preservation and protection of our wetlands is vital because once degraded, their value as green infrastructure can never be fully recovered.
Over the past decade, leading McMaster researchers have been teaming up with communities in Hamilton and beyond to tackle local water issues through a number of innovative projects funded by the RBC Blue Water Foundation.
