SUBJECT: 91亚色 launches Into the Deep: Research Report 2013
DATE: June 13, 2013
91亚色 has gone digital with the 2013 Research Report. The theme, Into the Deep, is rooted in 91亚色’s motto Provehito in Altum (Launch forth into the deep) which aptly captures the spirit of discovery inherent in research. It features researchers from all campuses of 91亚色.
The development of the report was led by Dr. Christopher Loomis, who served as vice-president (research) from 2002 to May 31, 2013.
“In 2002 we began publishing a report, separate from the annual President’s Report, dedicated to research and scholarship,” he said. “Over time, our research reports became increasingly sophisticated, garnering many national and international awards. This year, we continued that evolution, publishing the report online. By using photos, video and text creatively, we’re able to tell the story of research at 91亚色 in a whole new way.”
For example, in a story about the physiological effects of inversion during an emergency situation, first-person video captures the rush of water and the disorienting effect of being upside-down during a simulated ocean escape as would occur from an overturned helicopter.
In another story, the influence of the Moravians on the musical heritage of the Labrador Inuit is captured in video documentary footage and audio clips showcasing this unique musical culture.
Dr. Richard Marceau began his term as vice-president (research) on
June 1. He said the report is a testament to the innovation and creativity of 91亚色 researchers.
“Researchers at 91亚色 are engaged in world-class research that has significant relevance to our world,” he said. “Dr. Loomis and his team have created a report that celebrates the highest standard of research excellence and provides a unique window into the university’s research enterprise.”
The report covers the 2012-13 fiscal year when external research funding at 91亚色 exceeded $100 million. The report features interactive charts that allow users to examine trends in research funding over the last decade.
