The northern resident killer whale (NRKW) population off British Columbia’s coast is considered ‘threatened’ within Canada. Recent studies have shown that NRKWs face many threats, with a key stressor being the negative interaction with commercial and recreational vessel traffic. The Robson Bight Michael Bigg Ecological Reserve is a marine protected area in Johnstone Strait, east […]

The Coquitlam River Watershed Roundtable is collaboratively developing a watershed management plan for the lower Coquitlam River, using the “Open Standards for the Practice of Conservation” framework. Developed by the Conservation Measures Partnership (a group of international NGOs), this framework is intended to guide the design and implementation of conservation projects using an integrative approach […]

The overall goal of the proposed research project is a creation of a database on corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs and broader Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives sponsored by Canadian mining companies in the extractives sector, with a particular focus on programs directed to community development. The data aims to provide communities and other […]

The intensity and frequency of earthquakes in Korea have increased in the past few years. Thus, the need for seismic retrofit of many middle- or low-rise buildings has increased which were designed without seismic design provisions. Nonlinear time history analyses need to be performed for accurate seismic performance evaluation and for appropriate retrofit of structures. […]

Le secteur de production de légumes biologiques en serre de plein sol est en essor au Québec. Afin de répondre à cette demande et si l’on veut accroître et la productivité de ces cultures et augmenter les superficies en mesure de produire 10-12 mois par année, il est impératif de combler les lacunes sérieuses en […]

The Climate, Land, Energy and Water systems (CLEWs) model allows for representation of the Nexus interactions between different sectors. Applied in Sustainable Development contexts, the CLEWs model enhances policy coherence and supports effective decision making. Over the last few years partners at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden) and Loughborough University (United Kingdom) have […]

Je m’intéresse à la diversité et à la composition des communautés de lichens, de bryophytes et de microorganismes du sol ainsi qu’à la diversité chimique des lichens associés aux écosystèmes forestiers boréaux intacts. Mes deux hypothèses de recherche se référant à la chimie sont : 1. Les espèces de lichens associées aux écosystèmes forestiers boréaux […]

The Climate, Land, Energy and Water systems (CLEWs) model allows for representation of the Nexus interactions between different sectors. Applied in Sustainable Development contexts, the CLEWs model enhances policy coherence and supports effective decision making. This project will enhance and build on the existing CLEWs tools to make them more robust, enhance the ability of […]

Salt marshes are coastal wetlands that provide many ecosystem services. Many fish species are known to use salt marshes as habitat at some point throughout their lives including those that hold commercial and recreational value. Depending on their location, salt marshes may experience varying degrees of tidal flooding, not only making more areas of the […]
