For some children, everyday moments aren’t just routine — they’re a risk. Simple acts like a comforting hug from mom, getting dressed for school or going down a slide at the park can cause real harm.

That’s the reality for those living with epidermolysis bullosa (EB), a rare condition where even the slightest friction can cause blisters and open wounds. The condition weakens the connection between layers of the skin, leaving it unable to perform its most important role: protecting the body.

Children are often wrapped in bandages to protect fragile skin and cover wounds that are painful, slow to heal and prone to infection. Over time, repeated damage and inflammation can lead to serious complications, including skin cancer.

As Canada accelerates towards its net-zero climate target, carbon capture and storage (CCS) is emerging as a critical part of the solution. The process captures carbon dioxide (CO₂) from industrial sources, compresses it and injects it deep underground into geological formations designed to trap the gas permanently.

But permanent storage relies on one crucial factor: ensuring the CO₂ stays put. Once it’s injected hundreds of metres below the surface, researchers and regulators must ensure it remains safely contained.

Ӱԭ University  PhD student Isabella Hearne is researching how to detect possible leaks before they reach the surface.
