Climate change is expected to affect people’s health and livelihoods in northern
Indigenous communities more adversely than in others due to existing socio-economic
conditions and direct reliance on the environment to ...
A geospatial analysis and comparison of snow leopard and mountain lion habitat: implications for conservations and research
(2022)
Big cats form an integral part of landscape ecosystem management and are vital to the
persistence of natural habitats. Global change, alongside human interactions has severely harmed
populations of these predators, often ...
A case study of moisture regime on Pinus banksiana across Ontario
(2022)
With climate change affecting the boreal forest there are many
consequences to plant species on different site types that can be detrimental to
their longevity and productivity, affecting ecosystem health. In this ...
The effects of stratification methods on paper birch and yellow birch seed germination
(2022)
This study examines the use of both a typical cold moist stratification method,
and an alternative in their ability to affect germination rates in paper birch (Betula
papyrifera) and yellow birch (Betula alleghaniensis). ...
Climate change impacts on growth of black spruce in western Canadian boreal forest
(2022)
This study explored the effects of changes climate on the growth rate of black spruce
in western Canadian boreal forests over a 55-year time from 1950 to 2005. A multiple
linear regression model was run for tree ring ...
Factors affecting the structure and function of forest ecosystem: disturbance and climate change
(2021)
This paper discusses the effects of climate change and disturbance on forest ecosystems.
At present, the increasing temperature caused by global warming and the occurrence of various
fire events has posed a huge challenge ...

As an Anishinaabe person and environmental scientist, I feel I have an inherent duty to
be a steward of the environment. I chose to conduct research on Snowy Owls after
learning about the conservation issues affecting ...
Climate change effects on the surface temperature, ice coverage, & water levels of Lake Superior
(2023)
Lake Superior’s surface water temperature, water level, and ice cover are all
suggested to be changing with increased atmospheric temperatures caused by climate
change. This thesis uses data from 1995-2022 to determine ...
