Researchers are closing in on the causes of lake algal blooms. Learn more here:

The source of troublesome lake algae is not always clear, but an interdisciplinary research project with two Michigan State University researchers found an answer may include colder groundwater that feeds some inland lakes. This finding could help predict the formation of harmful algal blooms to mit...

In the US, we don't currently test automotive auxiliary heaters for emissions. New research from Finland suggests that we should be. Learn more:

Heaters, sold under such well-known brand names as Webasto and Eberspächer, among others, are used in both passenger cars and heavy-duty vehicles to preheat the engine and provide additional cabin heating while driving. Emissions from heaters are not regulated, although they are widely used in espe...

Recent research has shown that when water comes into contact with an electrode's surface, its molecules don't all respond the same way. This can dramatically affect how well substances can dissolve in water subject to an electrical field, which in turn can indicate how a chemical reaction will occur. Learn more:

"We salvage amphibians, we work around birds’ nests, we time our work around caribou habitat, ungulate winter ranges. At the end of the day, knowing that the land is going to be returned back to its pre-existing condition, that makes me feel good. It makes me feel proud of the work that we’re doing every day.”

Respect and care for the environment is core to Coastal GasLink’s construction program
