Principales installations

McMaster Centre for Climate Change: promotes multidisciplinary research activities focusing on the study of climate processes, climate change and the human response to these processes and changes. https://climate.mcmaster.ca/

Esri Canada Centre of Excellence: encourages the creation of new and innovative software applications of geographic information system (GIS) technology using the Esri GIS Platform. https://ecce.esri.ca/wpecce/2015/01/21/mac/

McMaster Nuclear Reactor: is a multi-purpose research facility, featuring an open-pool design that provides easy access to the reactor core and several built-in neutron beams for irradiation experiments. https://mnr.mcmaster.ca/

Grands projets

FloodNet: Led by Dr. Paulin Coulibaly, this NSERC Canadian Strategic Network is developing advanced knowledge, tools, and technologies that will allow Canada to better face and help protect Canadians from the often devastating effects of floods. http://www.nsercfloodnet.ca/

Global Water Futures (GWF) Projects: Three of the 12 GWF research projects designed to deliver risk management solutions for water futures in Canada are led by McMaster researchers. These are:
1) Led by Dr. Mike Waddington, Boreal Water Futures will develop risk assessment tools to improve climate, extreme weather and wildfire predictions;
2) Led by Dr. Sean Carey, Mountain Water Futures will improve the prediction and planned adaptation of snow, glaciers and streamflow regimes for the mountains of Western Canada;

3) Led by Dr. Dawn Martin-Hill, the Co-creating of Indigenous Water Quality Tools project will address water challenges in distinct Indigenous communities.
