Our Melting Poles: Where Life on Earth is Changing

Professor Warwick F. Vincent is an internationally distinguished scientist who studies how life at the base of aquatic food webs responds to environmental change. Originally from New Zealand, he and his family arrived in Québec City almost 20 years ago. He now holds the Canada Research Chair in Aquatic Ecosystem Studies at Université Laval and is Director of the inter-university research and training institute, Centre d'études nordiques (CEN: Centre for Northern Studies), also based at Université Laval. A past president of Canada's National Antarctic Committee, a founding member of ArcticNet and recent group chair of NSERC's grant selection committees in the environmental sciences, he has earned numerous honours for his contributions to research and education. These awards include the Canadian Rigler Prize in Limnology, the New Zealand Gold Medal in Science, and the Royal Society of Canada's Miroslaw Romanowski Medal for achievements in environmental research.
