SUMMARY:Quebec City Women's Club February Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Invited speaker: Lisa Matthes\, Postdoctoral fellow in Oceanography\, Takuvik Joint International Laboratory\, Université Laval /CNRS \nTitle: The role of advanced robotics in studying the Arctic under-ice light field \nZoom link: https://ulaval.zoom.us/j/66544948499?pwd=aTRKejBsVnVGdDUvK0doemUzOWZwZz09 \nThe Arctic Ocean has been the epicentre of climate change with a much faster warming rate compared to the globe. This warming causes the sea ice cover to shrink rapidly with a large impact on all levels of the Arctic marine food web\, from polar bears to microscopic algae. Oceanographic studies of the changes in this remote and hard-to-access region are often limited to small areas and/or short time periods\, which hampers predictions about the future of the sea ice ecosystem. This talk will provide insights on how recent advancements in underwater robotics help to extend the knowledge about the development of phytoplankton blooms throughout the year. Together\, we will look at how optical and biological data are collected by remotely operated and autonomous platforms over larger spatial and temporal scales to better understand the marine ecosystem in Baffin Bay. \nLisa Matthes: After graduating with a master’s degree in Marine Biology from the University of Rostock in Germany and a PhD degree in Arctic Research at the University of Manitoba\, Lisa Matthes joined the Takuvik International Research Laboratory as postdoctoral fellow in April 2021. Her research work focuses on light availability in the marine ecosystem and how it controls the magnitude and timing of Arctic primary production. She is specifically interested in how a sea ice cover impacts light propagation in the underlying water column and how it affects phytoplankton throughout the Arctic growth season. To find answers to these questions\, she deploys optical sensor packages in combination with advanced underwater robotics and collects water samples for many biological parameters during field expeditions in the Arctic and sub-Arctic Ocean. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Travel Log: Lifelong Learning
DESCRIPTION:This event is open to all adults aged 50+ in the Quebec City area. \nPresented by Barry Lane \nCANADIAN PACIFIC AND THE GOLDEN AGE OF TRAVEL \nThe story of Canadian Pacific is one of the greatest stories in the world. Straddling the continent for more than a century and globe for more than fifty years\, Canadian Pacific is inextricably linked with the history of Canada itself. \nIn 1885\, the company completed the construction of two thousand miles of railway system and linking the Atlantic to the Pacific. It then established fleets of vessels on both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans\, laying the foundation for a transportation route that allowed members of the British Empire to travel around the world. To enhance the travel experience\, the company also constructed great castle-like hotels\, including the Algonquin in St. Andrews\, the Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City\, and the Banff Springs Hotel in the Rockies\, which themselves became landmarks. \nWith a 40 minute illustrated presentation\, author and lecturer\, Barry Lane will relate this special history\, and then go on to talk about his experiences as a cruise ship lecturer and leader of Trans-Canada rail trip journeys. (He has lectured on at least 200 different cruises in Canada\, the US\, and the Caribbean\, and been leader/lecturer of 15 rail trips across Canada\, all of which stayed in CP’s great railway hotels. He will give you some travel trips for your future travels. \nAs a door prize to the talk\, Barry will also offer a copy of his “sumptuously illustrated\,” 2015 book\, “Canadian Pacific and the Golden Age of Travel \nTO REGISTER: email Catherine at info@lifelonglearningquebec.org\, orcall 418.681.1258. \nSpace is limited. \nSign up for the Lifelong Learning mailing list for updates on activities.

SUMMARY:Russia\, Ukraine and Vladimir Putin\, Lifelong Learning
DESCRIPTION:This event is open to all adults aged 50+ in the Quebec City area. \nThe Russian attack on Ukraine and the Ukrainians’ amazing resistance is one of the most extraordinary and important events of our lifetime. Its impact will resonate on the world for decades to come. For over a decade Barry has been studying Russian and Ukrainian history\, and has travelled extensively in both countries. He is in daily contact with Ukrainian friends and follows the war closely\, both on a political and military level. \nThis illustrated presentation\, of forty minutes duration\, shows wartime life in the famous Ukrainian city of Odesa and then moves on to a 2015 trip to Moscow to view the 70th anniversary parade of Russia’s winning of the Great Patriotic War. (WWII) Some of the photos are astonishing. \nAfter showing these images\, Barry will move on to try and explain the character and history of the Russian people which has led to this criminal war\, and discuss the personality of Vladimir Putin\, a leader who is the ultimate symbol of Russia’s inability to deal with its turbulent past. \nTO REGISTER: email Catherine at info@lifelonglearningquebec.org\, orcall 418.681.1258. \nSpace is limited. \nSign up for the Lifelong Learning mailing list for updates on activities.
