Biochar, a form of black carbon produced from pyrolyzed biomass, has been touted as a product that may suppress agricultural soil emissions while also sequestering carbon. BC Biocarbon LTD, a recently established company in McBride, BC, has…

Landscape level disturbances occur in nearly every watershed throughout the globe, and as the climate changes, these disturbances will continue to have a significant impact on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Wildfire, timber harvesting, and…

Hudson Bay, a vast inland sea in northern Canada, receives the highest average annual freshwater from the Nelson River system among all other contributing rivers. A rapidly changing climate and flow regulation from hydroelectric developments alter…

Demystifying the story of food – from seed to store to stomach and how that cycle perpetuates – is a core tenet of food literacy and the central aim of this project. While exposure to environmental issues is critical to developing awareness, young…

Policy makers, health industry leaders, clinicians and researchers struggle to understand how new evidence-based practices, including Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs), can be implemented more quickly and more consistently. This retrospective…

This research extends and explores two key concepts. First, cultural preservation is important to Indigenous health and wellbeing. Second, when Indigenous youth spend quality time (whether online or offline) on issues pertaining to their identity…

Traditionally, models of conceptual knowledge have relied upon amodal theories that largely overlook how environmental stimuli are converted into amodal representations and how perceptions reactivate these representations and translate them back…

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…

The three western Canadian provinces (British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan) are responsible for more than 90 % of the 2017 national total fugitive methane (CH4) emissions from the oil and gas sector. Several survey-based previous studies…

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…

Transcutaneous near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) of muscle requires coupling between the device and the skin. An unfortunate by-product of this coupling is contact force artefact, where the amount of contact force between the device and the skin…
