CANARIE, the ultra-high-speed network connecting Canada's researchers, educators, and innovators, recently profiled a number of projects as case studies about the impact of the network. UPEI's Climate Research Lab was one of the projects, specifically its Coastal Impacts Visualization Environment (CLIVE) project.
From the profile:
"The dramatic impact to PEI from climate change was universally shocking to residents who were able to see for themselves what their coastlines, cities, and even individual farms would look like in several decades. The reaction on CLIVE’s value from the media and other research organizations was also unanimously positive."
