Our Current Research Areas
Our team studies how people and ecosystems can thrive together in a changing world. From forests and freshwater systems to climate communication and environmental policy, our research explores the connections between science, sustainability, and society. Each project helps build practical, evidence-based solutions that support healthy environments, informed decision-making, and more just and resilient futures.
Forest Biodiversity & Management Cluster
We work to dentify how changing forestry practices impact road networks, at local and landscape scales, with implications for biodiversity, connectivity, and monetizable recreation opportunities; assessing the effects of using tree marking to help ensure operational compliance and stand-scale biodiversity.
Carbon Valuation Cluster
We work to determine how to quickly value forest carbon in a way recognizable to banks and other lenders
Knowledge Exchange Group
Understanding Nova Scotian’s attitudes towards forestry and most effective methods for knowledge exchange with woodlot stewards and other stakeholders
Mi’kmaw-led forestry
We support the Mi’kmaw-led forestry with the Eskasoni Fish & Wildlife Commission, who endeavour to promote biocultural diversity within forests on their territory.
