Mariana Trench is the deepest part of the ocean and also the deepest spot on Earth

McGill University Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences professor Eric Galbraith led a study that found that overfishing has altered the oceans chemistry and may play a part in climate change.

Protecting marine ecosystems and fisheries from climate change is a global priority but a new QUT-led, international study finds that our lack of...

A new study out of McGill University shows that people in societies where money plays a minimal role can have a level of happiness comparable to Scandinavian countries which typically rate highest in the world. 

Happiness really does come for free News Economic growth is often prescribed as a sure way of increasing the well-being of people in low-income countries, but a study led by McGill and the Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technologies at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (ICTA-UAB) suggests that there may be good reason to question this assumption. The researchers set out to find out how people rate their subjective well-being in societies where money plays a minimal role, and which...

When thinking about the aftermath of a nuclear war, fisheries are not the first things that come to mind. However, in a recent study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (PNAS), a team of McGill researchers revealed that marine fishery supplies could be vital to sustaining human life by providing food security after a nuclear war or other abrupt climatic shocks.  Among other catastrophic effects, such as immediate destruction of cities and firestorms, nuclear war would...
