In collaboration with Dr. Johanna Wandel, Dr. Derek Robinson, Glenn Milner one of the (Department of Geography and Environmental Management's first Master’s of Climate Change students), and Christine Tu (TRCA) the group was awarded Mitacs funding to support Glenn in an 8 month internship working with the TRCA. The proposed research has an overarching goal to determine the relative impact of climate change on major ecosystem components in the Region of Peel, and their associated ecosystem services. This analysis will be completed at a coarse scale, but with sufficient detail to allow decision makers in by the Region of Peel to identify which ecosystem services require detailed adaptive management strategies.
