Today, Dalhousie is celebrating Transforming Climate Action, the Canada First Research Excellence Fund program announced late last month that is putting the ocean front and centre in the fight against climate change.

The launch event takes place in the Steele Ocean Science Building atrium beginning at 1 p.m., and will feature remarks from the Honourable Andy Fillmore (MP for Halifax) along with representatives from the partner institutions and a panel discussion with researchers.

Full details can be found here. If you want to tune in remotely, a livestream can be viewed on Dal's YouTube channel.
