Coastal landscapes, bridging the terrestrial and marine environments, are characterized by their dynamic shorelines and diverse geomorphological features, including soft and rocky shores, cliffs, coastal shelves, and wetlands. These habitats are crucial for supporting life cycles, marine food webs, and broader ecosystem functions. As climate change and human activities increasingly impact these areas, effective monitoring […]

This project will develop novel STEAM education kits and curriculum for classroom and after-school program use, based on longstanding LASG experience and practice with ‘metastable structures’—those which balance stability and adaptability. Metastability provides a potently different way of thinking about our constructions and a more symbiotic relationship with our environment. Participants will use these kits […]

Methane is a key greenhouse gas (GHG), and atmospheric methane emissions in Alberta are associated with a variety of industry sectors: sanitary landfills, wood waste landfills, feedlot operations and the oil and gas sector. When the quantities released at individual locations are relatively small, this methane cannot be used as an energy source; therefore, environmentally […]

This project explores consumer resistance to purchasing and using zero-emissions vehicles (ZEVs), in the context of Canada’s goals to transition to 100% ZEV sales in the passenger vehicle market by 2035. A key uncertainty regarding this transition is how later buyers will respond. To date, little research has focused on understanding “ZEV resistance”: the various […]

Telemedicine systems can connect health practitioners and patients with specialists in geographically distant regions. Yet we still do not have a strong understanding of how such systems are used and how they support or impede the workflow of health professionals. This research explores how nurses, general practitioners, and specialists make use of telemedicine systems and […]
