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:Quebec City Women’s Club’s January Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Follow this Zoom link to join: https://ulaval.zoom.us/j/63926866191?pwd=bWdORUI1SmIrYzRSKzMxSW5IWGkrZz09 \nTreating different forms of addiction – My job as a Social Worker in a therapy center \nMyriam Paquin\, Psychosocial intervention worker \nAbstract :  After obtaining a certificate in Psychology and graduating with a bachelor’s degree in Social work at Université Laval\, Myriam started working at Centre CASA\, a therapy center dedicated to helping adults (men and women) living with addiction problems (alcohol\, drugs\, medication\, gambling\, cyberaddiction\, etc.). She has also recently joined the intervention team dealing more specifically with people who wear or have worn a uniform (military\, police\, correctional officers\, etc.) and simultaneously suffer from a post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and addiction problems. In this presentation\, she will talk about her reality as a social worker working with a voluntary clientele struggling with addiction and the different challenges that these people and those around them might face. She will also be able to address any questions related to addiction\, as it is a problem that affects many people in the population\, whether it be directly or indirectly.

SUMMARY:Bylot Island Presentation with QCWC
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Québec City Women’s Club for a presentation by Marie-Christine Cadieux (MSc. Université Laval)\, a research assistant with the Bylot Island long-term ecological monitoring program since 2002. Marie-Christine will present an overview of the research that is being done at the Bylot Island research station and how the team was able to overcome the Nunavut lockdown in 2020 and obtain data from their study site without stepping foot on the island. \nDate: Tuesday January 25\, 7:00 pm\nZOOM link: https://ulaval.zoom.us/j/68067413077?pwd=dUZSYlpndDBoemMxbDRTc1c1eE9ydz09 \nFor more information\, please contact Debbie Stowe (418-844-1840)
