Department of Geography, Environment and Geomatics

We are pleased to announce that our new unilingual option for the Honours, Major and Minor programs in Environmental Studies has been approved! So, you now have the choice to study completely in French or completely in English.

Each year, undergraduate and graduate students from Carleton University and the University of Ottawa participate in high-quality northern research studies, both in natural and social sciences. In recent years, these studies have benefited from considerable financial and logistical support through International Polar Year programs, the Polar Continental Shelf Program, and the Northern Scientific Training Program. As a platform to showcase our excellence and common interests in northern research, Carleton University and the University of Ottawa are pleased to host the Ottawa-Carleton Student Northern Research Symposium (OCSNRS).

The Institute for Science, Society and Policy hosted for the first time in a public panel the Chief Science Advisor of Canada, Dr. Mona Nemer, the Chief Scientist of Québec, Dr. Rémi Quirion and the Chief Scientist of Ontario, Dr. Molly Shoichet.

A committed parliamentarian and a great defender of democratic values and the French fact in Canada, Mauril Bélanger spent his career supporting minority groups and promoting the Franco-Ontarian community. The University of Ottawa, the Faculty of Social Sciences and the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research on Citizenship and Minorities (CIRCEM), in collaboration with Library and Archives Canada (LAC), are proud to present this lecture series in honour of the late Mauril Bélanger. Led by CIRCEM and thanks to the generous financial contribution of the Fondation Famille Bertrand, these lectures will focus on the major issues that Mr. Bélanger advocated for during his political career. Themes will be chosen by archivists from LAC, which is the custodian of Mr. Bélanger’s written works.
