Ryan Mulligan, Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션97, has been fascinated by waves for as long as he can remember.
He grew up near Georgian Bay and would spend most of his free time on the beach, watching the breakers roll in or riding them on a windsurfer.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Windsurfing is just such a fun sport 카지노 게임 컬렉션 it gets you right out there in the waves, in that environment, feeling and seeing everything,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he says with a big smile.
These days, Mulligan isn카지노 게임 컬렉션t on his board as much as he카지노 게임 컬렉션d like, but he카지노 게임 컬렉션s still captivated by waves 카지노 게임 컬렉션 perhaps now more than ever, in fact.
The civil engineering professor and associate head of civil engineering at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s is also the director of the university카지노 게임 컬렉션s . It카지노 게임 컬렉션s one of Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션s leading hubs for water-related research, where experts from across Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s dive into everything from how lakes and oceans respond to climate change to how to better detect viruses in wastewater.
Mulligan카지노 게임 컬렉션s own research connects back to those days on Georgian Bay and a fascinating fourth-year coastal engineering course he took as a Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s engineering undergrad that he now teaches in Smith Engineering.
카지노 게임 컬렉션My main research theme is all about how strong winds generate big waves and how they change the shape of the coast,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션They can change everything in just a few hours or days, but things are impacted in the environment for a long time after that.카지노 게임 컬렉션
One of his major focuses right now is leading a four-year Environment Canada-funded research project aimed at predicting the impacts of hurricanes on Atlantic Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션s coastlines. It combines fieldwork with advanced numerical modelling to better understand how waves, groundwater flow, tide levels, and beach morphology change during extreme weather events.
카지노 게임 컬렉션This work is really close to my heart 카지노 게임 컬렉션 it builds directly on my PhD research,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Mulligan. 카지노 게임 컬렉션With climate change increasing the frequency and intensity of hurricanes, we카지노 게임 컬렉션re expecting to see more storms reaching further north, extending the storm season and amplifying impacts in Atlantic Canada but also potentially in Ontario and Quebec. Our goal is to generate data that will improve storm surge predictions and support floodplain mapping efforts.카지노 게임 컬렉션
The project includes colleagues from Dalhousie 카지노게임사이트 who are experts in coastal groundwater, which is important, says Mulligan, because collaboration across disciplines is key to successful research.
That kind of interdisciplinary collaboration is typical of BWRC researchers, adds Mulligan, who notes that the centre welcomes Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s experts from fields that include engineering, the natural sciences, the health sciences, and the humanities.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Grand challenges like ones related to water can be very complex, and one person can카지노 게임 컬렉션t be the expert at everything,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션But the great thing about Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s is that we have very strong researchers in all different aspects of water, so if we can bring them together, that카지노 게임 컬렉션s going to help us solve these big, complex problems.카지노 게임 컬렉션
That approach has been a cornerstone of BWRC since its launch in 2017, but Mulligan is hoping for even stronger interdisciplinary research there over the next few years.
Alumni support can help make that happen, he says.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Giving monetarily would be amazing because it would directly support our research, but the other way to support us would be to just come to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, connect with us, and get a tour of our labs. I카지노 게임 컬렉션m happy to do that for whoever because we have so many fascinating lab facilities.카지노 게임 컬렉션
A few of those labs are in the new state-of-the-art Civil Environmental labs in Mitchell Hall, but the Coastal Engineering Lab on West Campus may be the biggest draw. It카지노 게임 컬렉션s Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션s largest university operated hydraulics laboratory, and it카지노 게임 컬렉션s where Mulligan simulates the impacts of waves on coastlines.
As for catching a few real waves on a windsurfer while alumni are in town, Mulligan says it카지노 게임 컬렉션s worth it 카지노 게임 컬렉션 if you have time to learn and are excited to get out in the water.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I still windsurf but not as much as I want to. Kingston is fantastic for it, especially in the fall. Go for it!카지노 게임 컬렉션
