Going global
By Pamela Gill
SEVEN REPRESENTATIVES of the Humber River Basin
project were in Istanbul, Turkey, July 5-9 to participate in the
international Global Conference on Global Warming.
The conference brought together more than 400 experts
and scientists who research global warming and climate
change. The basin project, which is under the auspices of the
Grenfell College Research Office, was invited by conference
organizers to host a special session on river basin ecology.
The Humber River Basin Project is a collaborative initiative
among local stake holders including the Canadian Forest
Service/Natural Resources Canada and the province of
Newfoundland and Labrador. The basin project addresses
research in response to critical issues facing decision makers
concerning the sustainability of the Humber River Basin and
surroundings. The project's session was among more than 300
submissions that were accepted for poster sessions and presentations from all around the globe.
Members of the basin project currently in Istanbul include
Wade Bowers, ecologist and former associate vice-principal
(research), Grenfell College; Dean Strickland, project manager
for the basin project; Rainer Baehre, professor, historical
studies, Nick Novakowski, associate professor, environmental

Memorial's Novel Ideas: President's Report 2008 beat out 118
entries from around the world to receive this singular distinction.
"We are very pleased to see this international recognition of
how Memorial University holds its own on the world stage,"
said acting president Dr. Eddy Campbell, in learning of the
award.
"Every university in the world publishes an annual report
of some kind. The challenge to Memorial was to develop our
annual report in a way that would shine out among the scores
of international submissions and that would draw special attention to the hard work and tremendous accomplishments of our
students, staff and faculty. We chose an unusual and edgy
approach that creatively and accurately reflected who we are

Andrew Edwards, a project engineer with Memorial, is seen mounted into a safety harness
aboard a new simulator at Memorial. The high-tech equipment replicates the working environment of potentially dangerous jobs such as the offshore. Researchers are now studying the effects
of motion induced fatigue and interruptions upon these workers. To read more, see page 9.
