007-2008 was another great year for UFV. On April 21, 2008 BC
Premier Gordon Campbell announced university status for UCFV.
On September 1, 2008 we become the University of the Fraser Valley!
This means:



Local access to excellent academic and trades education, from
upgrading through to Master’s degrees



Greater capacity to engage in research activity directly related to
regional needs



Credentials recognized and understood the world over



Increased social and economic development in the region

As a teaching-intensive university, UFV is committed to offering
students as many opportunities as possible to engage, together
with their professors and fellow students, in scientiic and scholarly
inquiries and to actively participate in the process of discovery.
Research allows students and faculty to learn together, to wrestle with
the questions of their time, and to expand their own knowledge.
We are dedicated to inding creative ways to integrate research and
teaching, and to place research and scholarly activities at the heart
of the learning experience of our students, our faculty, and our
community.
This fourth edition of Publications and Research at UFV is intended to
highlight the research activities and achievements of our faculty, staff,
and students in 2007-2008. It also serves as a source document in
responding to community inquiries about publications and research
undertaken at UFV.

Luminescence Dating Research Laboratory
The UFV Luminescence Dating Research Laboratory is a state-ofthe-art facility built around the most current luminescence dating
system manufactured by Risø National Laboratory in Denmark.
The laboratory, which is housed in the UFV Geography Department
(Abbotsford campus), became operational in September 2007, and
is supported by National Science and Engineering Research Council
of Canada (NSERC) grants awarded to its director, Dr. Olav B. Lian.
The laboratory not only serves as a centre for leading edge research,
but is also a place where senior UFV students can be mentored in
the processes by which key research problems are identiied, new
knowledge is acquired, and, in turn, is applied to solving problems in
environmental science.
Luminescence dating is a method that is used to ind out how much
time has elapsed since common mineral grains (e.g., sand grains in a
desert dune) were last exposed to sunlight. The method is therefore
used to establish the timing of landform change which can, in turn,
be used as a direct proxy for environmental (e.g., climate) change.
The initial focus of the research in the new UFV laboratory will be
associated with gaining an understanding of how the landscape in
British Columbia adjusted to the luctuations in climate that have
occurred since the end of the last ice age.
