A new staples industry? Complexity, governance and Canada's diamond mines
(Oxford University Press, 2007)The discovery of indicator minerals in the Slave geological province began a staking and development rush that, in a little over a decade, saw Canada becoming one of the world’s largest producers of diamonds. An examination ... -
Advancing local energy transitions: A global review of government instruments supporting community energy
(Elsevier, 2021-10-28)The adoption and encouragement of community energy, that is, the incentive to develop renewable energy projects with community participation and ownership, is a key ingredient of energy transition. Government policies and ... -
Empowering Churchill: Exploring energy security in northern Manitoba
(Arctic Institute of North America, 2022-06-11)To those living in Churchill, Manitoba, having power means much more than being able to turn on the lights. Using Churchill as a case study, we examine how local context can improve the suitability of energy security ... -
A model for training undergraduate students in collaborative science
(American Geophysical Union, 2018-08-16)Engagement of undergraduate students in research has been demonstrated to correlate with improved academic performance and retention. Research experience confers many benefits on participants, particularly foundational ... -
