Resource acquisition and allocation in mountain bluebirds (Sialia currucoides)
The strategic allocation of resources to maximize fitness is the organizing principle shaping the evolution of life histories. The physiology and behaviour of animals is a manifestation of trade-offs in resource allocation among traits and…

Jury duty and posttraumatic stress disorder
Research on jurors and juror symptomatology has been conducted for many years; however, existing research has primarily been completed in the United States. What little research was conducted in Canada is now several years ago. Further, there is…

A study of seasonal variations of traffic collisions and their machine learning prediction model for highways in B.C.
Traffic collisions are considered as one of the world’s major public health problems. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 1.3 million people die every year in traffic collisions across the world and a further 20 - 50 million are…

Community multiscale air quality (CMAQ) modeling of the atmospheric quality and pollutant deposition over the Terrace-Kitimat Valley of northwestern British Columbia, Canada
Tracking the effects of air pollution from industries is important for developing management strategies under changing emissions. However, computational tools for air pollution assessment often do not elucidate modeling uncertainty, making it…
Multiple geochronological approaches to constrain late Quaternary glacial histories in western Canada

Multiple geochronological approaches to constrain late Quaternary glacial histories in western Canada
My dissertation investigates late Pleistocene and Holocene glacier change in western Canada and is presented in five chapters. In chapter one, I discuss the importance of the cryosphere, the techniques used for reconstructing past glacier behavior,…

Exploring the use of emergency health services for stroke: what is known about when to seek emergency help and how transport decisions impact in-hospital emergency care
Transport practices for seeking emergency stroke care remain largely underresearched and poorly understood, particularly for individuals living in small urban, rural, and remote regions. This multi-method study aims to address this knowledge gap and…

Bioactive polysaccharides and small molecules from the native North American fungus Echinodontium tinctorium
Mushrooms, the fruiting bodies of fungi, are known to be powerful sources of nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals but there are limited studies focusing on exploring the medicinal value of mushrooms native to North America. Here, I describe the…
