Assessing the impacts of climate change on fluvial processes: using a physically-based model to determine hydrologic responses of the Slate River
(2017)
Watershed models are an important tool in regional planning and
conservation efforts. They can provide valuable insight into the potential impacts
of different land use changes and future climate change scenarios on ...
Examining barriers and facilitators in using teachers’ journals for critical space
(2017)
Among the varying ways to reflect on practice, learning journals capture the stories and

As the population of the world increases, the need to develop sustainable housing has gained worldwide attention. Although buildings contribute to socio-economic development, they are also among the biggest consumers of ...
Deploying an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with a multispectral sensor for detecting between differing levels of barley (H vulgare L.) fungal diseases in Northern Ontario
(2017)
To date, no studies exist exploring the multispectral detection of fungal diseases in barley (H Vulgare L.) with UAV imagery. The purpose of this work was to determine if the spectral response (VI) of barley fungicide ...
