CEPS Student Feature - Gabriele Wehrle

Almost 7 years ago, Gabriele Wehrle came to Guelph to start her Bachelor of Science degree in Biological & Pharmaceutical Chemistry. Today she is working on her Masters of Science underneath Professor Jennifer Murphy researching carbon-capture materials. Finding a home at U of G, Gabriele has always looked for ways to be involved with the on-campus community.

Testing the Strength of Gravitational Theories

Applying small changes to current theories could have a big impact.

When it comes to testing the limits of what we know about the nature of the universe, nothing quite compares to black holes. These objects have extremely large masses packed into a very tiny space, exerting a gravitational pull so strong that space and time are warped around them and not even light can escape their grasp.

Helping the Greenhouse industry reuse and repurpose their waste

Greenhouses offer a 365 day a year growing cycle, increasing our food security and access to fresh produce year-round. Growing efforts by the industry are resulting in more sustainable production practices, including reducing energy and water use, and finding alternatives to plastic packaging.

Carbon-smart soils used to combat climate change

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the most dominant greenhouse gasses (GHGs) that can absorb and hold heat radiated from the sun. Ever-increasing GHGs emissions have caused a significant rise in atmospheric carbon concentration in recent decades. If this trend continues, the Earth could warm by 2˚C before the end of the century, which will result in severe threats to human life and global ecosystems. Global efforts are being made to mitigate this effect by developing carbon capture and sequester (CCS) technologies.
