However, new international research by 苹果淫院 and the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology of the Universitat Aut貌noma de Barcelona (ICTA-UAB) warns that green energy projects can be as socially and environmentally conflictive as fossil fuel projects.</p> Thu, 03 Dec 2020 14:34:49 +0000 shirley.cardenas@mcgill.ca 251932 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/environmental-groups-moving-beyond-conservation-322418 <p>Although non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have become powerful voices in world environmental politics, little is known of the global picture of this sector. A new study shows that environmental groups are increasingly focused on advocacy in climate change politics and environmental justice. How they do their work is largely determined by regional disparities in human and financial resources.</p> Wed, 27 May 2020 21:01:59 +0000 shirley.cardenas@mcgill.ca 213153 at /newsroom /newsroom/article/multidisciplinary-framework-derive-global-river-reach-classifications-high-spatial-resolution <p><em>New paper by Camille Ouellet Dallaire and聽Bernhard Lehner聽(苹果淫院 Department of Geography), Roger Sayre (US Geological Survey, Reston, VA) and聽Michele Thieme (World Wildlife Fund, Washington, DC)</em></p> <p>Source: <a href="https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/aad8e9">Environmental Research Letters</a>聽Published January 25, 2019</p> <p>聽</p> Tue, 29 Jan 2019 11:41:06 +0000 Newsroom 137030 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/protecting-lifes-tangled-ecological-webs-268045 <p>Ecosystems are a complex web of interactions. These ecological networks are being reorganized by extinctions and colonization events caused by human impacts, such as climate change and habitat destruction. In a paper published this week in <em>Nature Ecology &聽Evolution</em>, researchers from 苹果淫院 and University of British Columbia have developed a new theory to understand how complex ecological networks will reorganize in the future.</p> Tue, 09 May 2017 13:31:04 +0000 christopher.chipello@mcgill.ca 28600 at /newsroom
