| Biosphere Reserves & Local Governments: Exploring Ways to Work Together | August 3, 2021 - 10:45am |
“I work for the Mount Arrowsmith Biosphere Region Research Institute” is a sentence I have said many times over the last year. Most frequently this statement is followed by the question “What’s the Mount Arrowsmith Biosphere Region?” I also asked this the first time I heard of the MABR, but I chalked up my lack of awareness to the fact I grew up about 7,500 km east of the MABR in London, UK. Though it turns out that even some people who were born and raised in the Region, don’t realise the internationally recognised importance of the place they call home. |

| Playing for change | July 27, 2021 - 12:15pm |
I have had the opportunity to work for MABRRI as a research assistant for the past year, with most of my work focused around community planning. But the odd day, I get a change up from my routine and get to try something new! On July 6th, I had the chance to participate in The World’s Future Social Simulation with six other MABRRI Research Assistants. I have always been passionate about sustainability and the SDGs, and this simulation was an excellent opportunity to dive right in. |

| Promoting the Nanaimo Trail Survey to Mountain Bikers | July 21, 2021 - 8:26am |
Most evenings you can find us on the trails looking to chat with anyone riding a mountain bike. One of the projects us Research Assistants (RAs) at MABRRI are working on this summer is implementing the Nanaimo Trail Survey in person. The Trail Survey is in collaboration with Matt Bowes, a Geography and Global Studies professor at VIU, and the Nanaimo Mountain Bike Club. The goal of this survey is to get observations and perspectives of mountain biking in Nanaimo by talking with people riding the trails. |

| Safeguarding your research | December 5, 2024 - 2:42pm |
Canada’s move towards open and collaborative research has increasingly meant that our world-class research has become the target of espionage and foreign interference activities which pose threats to research security as well as to national security, economic competitiveness, and prosperity. The work of safeguarding research conducted in Canada requires a coordinated effort by all actors in the research enterprise including government, universities and researchers. |

| VIU Grad Discovers Two-Million-Year-Old Skull while Attending Field School in South Africa | June 15, 2021 - 11:33am |
Good discovered the fossil, one of the best-preserved Paranthropus robustus specimens known to science, while she was attending the Drimolen Field School of Palaeoanthropology and Geoarchaeology in 2018. The excavation site was at the Drimolen Palaeocave System within the Cradle of Humankind, located northwest of Johannesburg, South Africa. |

| Food and Sovereignty Symposium - Keynote Speaker Ozoz Sokoh | June 22, 2021 - 10:23am |
Hosted virtually by VIU and the journal Gender & History the Symposium will examine how histories of food and sovereignty have intersected with gender over time. Keynote speaker Ozoz Sokoh will highlight how food is more than nourishment for the body but also an important aspect of people’s history and heritage. Sokoh's keynote webinar is the only portion of the symposium open to the public. Sokoh is a food explorer, culinary anthropologist and food historian from Nigeria. |

| May Forage Fish Sampling | June 15, 2021 - 10:54am |
I’m a student research assistant with MABRRI for the summer and a part of my job is helping sample for forage fish embryos! The term ‘forage fish’ refer to small prey fish that feed the larger, pelagic fish in the ocean. Common forage fish include sardines, herring, and anchovies but the two we’re interested in are the Pacific sand lance and surf smelt. Both these species lay their eggs in the sand; Pacific sand lance spawn in the fall and winter months, while the surf smelt spawn in year round. |

| Wetland Monitoring in the MABR | June 11, 2021 - 9:44am |
The MABR is comprised of many unique and diverse ecological landscapes, including some very spectacular wetlands! However, relatively little is known about these wetlands and their importance in the hydrology of the MABR. Since both groundwater and surface water play a critical role in providing many coastal communities in MABR with water throughout the year, the Regional District of Nanaimo’s (RDN) Drinking Water and Watershed Protection (DWWP) program and MABRRI began researching more about these wetlands through the Wetland Mapping and Monitoring project. |
