"A McGill-led study suggests that Earth's natural forces could substantially reduce Antarctica’s impact on rising sea levels, but only if carbon emissions are swiftly reduced in the coming decades. By the same token, if emissions continue on the current trajectory, Antarctic ice loss could lead to more future sea level rise than previously thought.
Can hopeful moments lead to hopeful futures?

As McGill prepares to launch its own sustainable lab certification program, six research teams tested the waters to see what it takes to go green.
Six laboratory teams at McGill recently completed a year-long endeavor to get certified with My Green Lab, an internationally recognized online program the provides lab users with actionable ways to implement meaningful change. From waste reduction to fieldwork, this certification system gives researchers clear ways to assess their current lab practices and make improvements.
The results are in for the2023 Principal’s Prize for Public Engagement through Media and is among the runners-up recognized in the Group category.
