This research area aims to understand the potential impacts of climate change on both human and animal health. Some of the ongoing research projects in this research area include: mental health impacts of post-tropical storm Fiona in PEI, mental health impacts of coastal erosion in PEI, climate change impacts on cancer rates in Canada, climate change impacts on lobster and oyster production in PEI, climate change impacts on coastal ecosystems and endangered species (e.g., Piping Plover), climate change impacts on livestock, and so on.
Here in the Climate Smart Lab, we are a group of people developing sustainable climate solutions with cutting-edge technologies to help build climate-resilient communities. Collectively, we are working together with experts from all disciplines to build a climate-smart future for the next generation and many generations to come.
