The Faculty of Natural Resources Management invites the university community to attend our seminar series on Fri., Oct. 20 in BB-10054 at 11am. Post-doc fellow, Dr. Patrick Levasseur will present The biogeochemistry of regreened forests on a mining and smelting degraded landscape.

Presentation overview: Understanding the biogeochemistry of regreened forests is essential to determining the long-term viability of regreening on degraded landscapes. The City of Greater Sudbury, Ontario is home to one of the world’s largest regreening efforts and provides a unique location to study the effects of regreening on biogeochemical processes and how these processes change as stands age.

Dr. Levasseur Holds a BSc in Biology from the University of Guelph, and his MSc and PhD in Environmental Sciences from Trent University. His expertise is in forest biogeochemistry, and he is particularly interested in the effects of ecological restoration on soil carbon. Dr. Levasseur recently moved to Thunder Bay with his wife Sarah, his daughter Jacqueline, and his dog Cedar.

Academic Integrity Awareness Week Event:

Visit the Library Courtyard anytime between 11:00am-2:00pm on Wednesday October 18th to create an abstract art masterpiece while also testing your AI (artificial intelligence) knowledge. All you have to do is try your hand at a few skill testing questions and you’ll get water blasters full of colourful paint to design your very own authentic, non-AI generated Jackson Pollock-like art piece. Even more, we will be asking folks to donate their art work to be used in a community art exhibition, which will be curated and on display for passers-by to admire in the Agora.

For the first time since 2019, the Engineering Student Society of Lakehead University will hold its Car Smash from 10 am to 2 pm on Friday, Oct. 20, which serves as a healthy way for students to de-stress and build community during midterms.

Upon arrival to the service roadway near the CASES building, participants will receive personal protective equipment and a sledgehammer. Then, they are allowed to beat up a car that the Engineering Student Society found in the scrapyard.

Any profits from this year’s Car Smash will be re-invested in enrichment events and initiatives for students, such as the Lakehead Engineering Competition, National Engineering Month initiatives, and degree project funding.

Anyone can participate. It’s free for Engineering students, and for everyone else it’s $3 for one minute or $5 for two minutes.

Lakehead ESS presents Car Smash!
Friday October 20th 10AM-2PM CASES Bike Shelter Roadway
