SUMMARY:Fish Health Level 1: Introduction to Basic Fish Health Management
DESCRIPTION:This course offered by VIU’s Natural Resources Extension Program focuses on the key principles of fish health management for aquaculture (hatcheries and net pen) and aquarium fishes. The theoretical components emphasize recognition of what is ‘non-normal’ in fish husbandry settings\, along with covering types of diseases (i.e.\, environmental\, pathogenic\, parasitic or genetic)\, prevention and mitigation\, and proper techniques for fish sampling and biosecurity.

SUMMARY:Applied Climate Science for Infrastructure Practitioners
DESCRIPTION:This course offered by the Climate Risk Institute and delivered by leading infrastructure and resilience experts will provide an overview of the fundamental principles that underpin climate change science; the application of climate scenarios; the role of global and regional climate models in predicting the behaviour of the climate system in response to different forcing scenarios\, and how we can translate climate model outputs in support of multi-scale impacts assessment or design of various infrastructure systems.  Examples will be drawn from various aspects of the built environment to illustrate the impacts in a changing climate\, possible risk mitigation and adaptation approaches\, and challenges and opportunities related to design decision-making under climate change uncertainty.

SUMMARY:New Perspectives on Mine Closure
DESCRIPTION:Mine closure is an issue of growing importance for mining companies\, the communities that host operations\, Indigenous peoples\, and governments with regulatory oversight of closure planning. In the coming years\, the world’s top miners are expected to spend over $50 billion (USD) closing mines and managing legacy sites. For many stakeholders and rightsholders\, there is a growing expectation that successful closure plans will go beyond remediation and short-term technical solutions to consider the complex socio-economic aspects of closure. Best practice planning is now expected to include measures that support a just transition for workers\, communities\, and governments as the jobs\, taxes\, royalties\, and philanthropic investments associated with producing mines diminish and then disappear. In this course presented by EGBC in Partnership with BRIMM Mining Education at UBC\, participants will examine the social and environmental dimensions of mine closure.
