Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5280. The overarching purpose of the study was originally to understand pregnant and birthing people's concerns about pregnancy and childbirth during the pandemic, and to connect this to particular decisions and behaviours (e.g. the decision to give birth at home); to capture how pandemic-related policy changes (e.g. remote...

Principal Investigator: Bourgeau-Chavez, Laura L.
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4940. The overall goal of the proposed research is to improve understanding of the controls and impacts of a changing climate on the vulnerability and resiliency of boreal-taiga ecosystems to wildfire. This is being addressed through field sampling and process-based ecological and hydrological modeling of the 2014-2016 wild...
