Keeping track of growing conditions affecting Canada’s agricultural crops is essential for planning purposes. Scientists rely on satellites to tackle this crucial task with precision. The advanced computer programs that make all this happen are created with intricate coding, the latest technology and plain hard work.

We, as human beings, find ourselves in a challenging situation when it comes to carbon emissions. Almost everything we do in our modern lives produces carbon emissions, which impact the very environment we live in. Is it possible to maintain our quality of life AND reduce our carbon emissions? Our scientists are working hard to address that issue. Listen to find out how.
Geologists from Natural Resources Canada head to northern Labrador to map the surficial geology impacted by the last ice age. Join Roger Paulen, Pierre-Marc Godbout and Jessey Rice as they use their detective skills to map the former paths of these once great ice sheets.
Innovative 3D models and virtual reality (VR) tools are helping define how future geoscientists and geological engineers will visualize — and interact with — the geology and groundwater resources of one of the country’s most populous regions.
We all know metals like gold, copper and nickel are essential to our way of life. Metals are used in just about everything. So how do we make sure that we have a continuous supply of these metals? How do you find new ore deposits to make sure we meet future demand? Our scientists are working hard to specifically address that issue. Listen to find out how.
CABER laboratories is part of a brand new facility specifically designed to test building envelopes — all the components of a building that separate the indoors from the outdoors. Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) and Carleton University are working together to explore ways to build buildings that are better, healthier and more resilient to climate change. Join us as we tour the facility with NRCan’s Alex Ferguson and Carleton’s Cynthia Cruickshank and Christopher Baldwin, as well as Carleton students Tait Seguin and Calene Baylis.
