Associate Professor Murray Richardson was awarded a 2024 Research Achievement Award for his research on “A process-based hydrology model of renewable freshwater supply for Iqaluit, Nunavut”. In his statement, Murray articulated, “Iqaluit is the largest city in Canada’s Eastern Arctic, and the rapidly growing capital of Nunavut, on southern Baffin Island. The community faces seasonal water shortages in their municipal surface water reservoir, requiring emergency supplementation from a nearby lake. Building on the long-term hydrology research program and datasets I have established for Iqaluit, I will develop a scientifically defensible surface water model to support forecasting and management of the community’s renewable freshwater supply.”
Congratulations Murray!
