Ice Research
Over the years, NRC's snow and ice research has ranged from protecting Canadians from avalanches to studying their effects on structures and transportation. NRC even has special facilities to test our northern conditions.
Even More Ice Research
NRC institutes dedicate time, expertise and resources pursuing and perfecting solutions to diverse snow and ice-related problems.
Smarter Search Engines
Google a particular car type or disease and you're bound to spend time sorting between hundreds of more and less useful results. NRC researchers are helping make the search for electronic information easier, and one key to this is teaching computers to understand language.
Snow Research
Canadians have a love/hate relationship with snow and ice. They are major parts of life for most Canadians, especially at this time of year.
Canada's Ultimate Light Ruler
For NRC scientists turning on the lights is never a simple task. They inevitably ask what kind of light and how much? Which is why they're so excited about a new tool that will soon be Canada's ultimate light ruler.
Olympic Games: NRC Puts Scientific Muscle behind Canada's Teams
Winning Olympic gold requires years of dedication, singular focus, and plenty of personal sweat, mixed with a pinch of science. And when Canadian athletes hit the snow and ice at the Turin Olympics, many will have a crucial technological push to the podium from NRC scientists.
