Climate and air quality impacts of boreal wildfires — new analytical approaches for the investigation of light absorption and atmospheric reactivity of wildfire particulate matter
DownloadSpring 2022
Wildfire smoke emissions contain substantial amounts of light-absorbing aerosols that can affect the radiation and cloud processes, resulting in climate impacts on regional and even global scales. The radiative impact of these light-absorbing aerosols is largely contributed by brown carbon (BrC),...

Phytoplankton communities as indicators of environmental change and nutrient deposition in the Canadian Rockies
DownloadSpring 2020
Remote mountain water bodies integrate the impacts of regional factors (e.g. climate change, atmospheric pollutants) well because of the relative absence of confounding local perturbations (e.g. human land-use). Climatic factors can alter the abiotic environments within mountain lakes through...

Systematic Review and Research Gaps on Wildfire Evacuations: Infrastructure, Transportation Modes, Networks, and Planning
Download2023-11-01
Zehra, Syeda N., Wong, Stephen D.
Wildfires pose significant threats to communities, requiring robust pre-event planning for efficient evacuations. Transportation systems are crucial for these efforts, yet global research gaps persist, especially those related to transportation assets and transportation modes beyond privately...

Veronica Wambura, Stephen D. Wong
Wildfire events continue to threaten multiple regions in Canada, and evacuations are often the primary means of ensuring life safety. Understanding how people make decisions before and during wildfire evacuations is thus important in informing future preparedness and planning. This research...
