Research papers are fine and dandy, but some students are bit more adventurous when it comes to completing their course requirements. This morning on the show we had a special feature from Alina Balitskaia, Aynsley Hector, Kathryn Henley, and Shane Steele, who are students in a geography course at the University of Ottawa taught by SPFer John Wall. They decided to use radio to share their insights on green infrastructure as a part of environmentally healthy cities. More information can be found at Green Roofs and Cool Roofs.
Later, we heard from PhD Candidate Justin Stefanik, who spoke with Robyn Penney about his research into the environmental and cultural impact of evolving agriculture methods used in the southern Prairies. They discussed his motivation to do research in the field, some of the positive and negative experiences he’s had so far, the exciting results that have come about, and his goals for the future after obtaining his degree.
