SSHRC Awarded PDG 2018: Globally, most park agencies have little capacity to produce in-house social science or ecological research, or conduct meaningful knowledge exchange with Indigenous and local communities. The goal of this project is to enhance the generation and use of knowledge,...

SSHRC Awarded Invited PG (stage 2) 2014: We propose to engage Canadians in a discussion of race, place, and the law. Canada continues to bear the legacy of a past in which racism held sway. The importance of race in shaping the very spaces we inhabit is epitomized by the events of World War...

Landslides in weakly cemented glaciolacustrine sediments, Morkill River valley, British Columbia
Download2001
Abstract: Slopes in weakly cemented glaciolacustrine sediments in the Morkill River valley in the Canadian Rocky Mountains stand at up to 70 degrees. Based on field and laboratory observations it appears that a contributing factor to instability is the softening of the soils by frost action and...

Yoho National Park protects the Burgess Shale: a chain of fossil beds in British Columbia bearing what paleontologist and science writer Stephen Jay Gould once called “the world’s most important animal fossils.” They are an extraordinary record of underwater soft-bodied organisms from just after...

Price, David T., Matthews, H. Damon, Parrott, Lael, Ramankutty, Navin, Landry, Jean-Sébastien
The ongoing major outbreak of mountain pine beetle (MPB) in forests of western North America has led to considerable research efforts. However, many questions remain unaddressed regarding its long-term impacts, especially when accounting for the range of possible responses from the non-target...

Net ecosystem productivity of temperate and boreal forests after clearcutting - a Fluxnet-Canada measurement and modelling synthesis
Download2010
Barr, A. G., Trofymow, J. A., McCaughey, J. H., Black, T. A., Margolis, H. A., Grant, R. F.
Abstract: Clearcutting strongly affects subsequent forest net ecosystem productivity (NEP). Hypotheses for ecological controls on NEP in the ecosystem model ecosys were tested with CO(2) fluxes measured by eddy covariance (EC) in three post-clearcut conifer chronosequences in different ecological...

Canada’s anti-discrimination legal regime is among the oldest and most established in the world. In this thesis, I examine those human rights institutions in Canada that were created to enforce anti-discrimination statutes to determine which system is more accessible to people from marginalized...

Opioid Prescribing Patterns for Treatment of Acute and Chronic Pain in Rural and Urban British Columbia
DownloadSpring 2022
Throughout Canada there has been an increase in both fatal and non-fatal opioid related overdoses, with British Columbia having some of the highest rates. In response to this increase, the Provincial Health Officer of British Columbia declared a public health emergency to mobilize resources to...

Peacock, Stephanie J., Krkošek, Martin, Bateman, Andrew W., Lewis, Mark A.
There is an increasing realization of the diverse mechanisms by which parasites and pathogens influence the dynamics of host populations and communities. In multi‐host systems, parasites may mediate food web dynamics with unexpected outcomes for host populations. Models have been used to explore...
