Offsetting approved harmful anthropogenic impacts in the 21st century – Insights into global offsetting practices, habitat banking as an alternative offsetting mechanism and application of habitat enhancement in northern boreal lake systems
DownloadFall 2022
Land-use change via human development is a major driver of biodiversity and habitat area loss and ecosystem function impairment. To reduce these impacts, billions of dollars are spent on environmental offsets, aimed to compensate for authorized negative impacts. Studies evaluating offset project...

Mobility and Safety Implications of Automated Vehicles in Mixed Traffic by Recognizing Behavioral Variations of Drivers
DownloadSpring 2022
The Introduction of Connected-Automated Vehicle (CAV) technology provided a new opportunity to fix the traditional transportation system. Automated vehicles (AuV) would take the driving responsibility and drive the vehicles by analyzing their’ surrounding through a range of sensors. The...

Kattemalalawadi, Bharath S. P.
To improve the confidence of subsurface storage of fluids such as carbon-dioxide, acid-gas and hydrogen at various geological sites, a proper fluid dynamic understanding of flow phenomena occurring because of injecting these source fluids into a porous medium is necessary. While many advancements...

Unintentional Injuries Among Children of Parents with Diagnosed Mental Health Conditions in Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2022
Background: Unintentional Injuries (UI) are a leading cause of hospitalization among children in Alberta, Canada. A small body of global research has found the risk of UI to be higher among children of parents with mental health and addiction conditions (MHAC) as compared to children with parents...
