Drought stress can cause xylem embolism in trees when the water potential (Psi) in the xylem falls below specific vulnerability thresholds. At the alpine timberline, frost drought is known to cause excessive winter embolism unless xylem vulnerability or transpiration is sufficiently reduced to...

SSHRC KSG awarded 2020: For this project, we will generate three scoping reviews to examine health-related exposure to extreme events like heat waves, wildfires, floods, drought, and air pollution; populations' sensitivity to these exposures; and the adaptive capacity of systems, institutions,...

Abstract. Drought stress can cause xylem embolism in trees when the water potential (W)in the xylem falls below specific vulnerability thresholds. At the alpine timberline, frostdrought is known to cause excessive winter embolism unless xylem vulnerability ortranspiration is sufficiently reduced to...

Climate change, adaptive capacity and new land innovations implemented by local farmers and indigenous people in Puerto Carreno, Colombia
DownloadFall 2012
A case study research was conducted in the city of Puerto Carreño, Colombia to assess adaptive capacity for the Farmers’ community and indigenous people to face climate change. Some of these inhabitants understand these changes in the weather as natural processes, others as climate change. The...

My research uses a framework of vulnerability and community economy to understand how Inuit practices of sharing need to be reflected in federal food policies for Inuit to be able to meet their food needs. I specifically draw on the work of feminist theorists such as Judith Butler, and Erin...
