Dr. Taru Manyanga with the UBC Master of Physical Therapy – North program at UNBC is bringing together youth and other key partners to develop interventions for youth physical activity engagement across northern B.C.

Rivers and streams in British Columbia were hit hard twice in 2021, first by a heat dome and then by atmospheric rivers. Prior to the weather events, UNBC researchers installed temperature sensors in waterways across northern B.C. In a new paper, they analyze the data to determine the impact of the extreme weather.

Researchers at UNBC, Thompson Rivers University and the the University of British Columbia's Okanagan campus are collaborating to tackle some of the region's most pressing issues. A renewal of the Interior Universities Research Coalition will ensure this important research continues.
