Sports Utility Vehicles
The emission benefits of shifting towards battery electric vehicles have so far been hampered by a trend towards sports utility vehicles (SUVs). This study assesses the current and future emissions from SUVs and their potential impact on public health and climate targets. We modelled five scenarios of varying SUV sales and electrification rates, and projected associated carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and nitrogen oxide (NO x ) emissions. Multiple linear …

The Next Generation Road Weather Information System
The use of road weather information systems for the winter maintenance of roads is now widespread around the world. However, road weather forecasts are normally only made available for a limited number of road sensor sites in a region. For example, in Birmingham, UK, there is one forecast site for 26 salting routes. XRWIS is the next generation road weather information system that forecasts for every 20 m along each salting route (typically 50 km…
Some Observations on the Late-Glacia Stages in the Coaticook Valley, Southern Québec
Cette étude a pour but de présenter les résultats de recherches sur le terrain portant sur certains aspects de la déglaciation de la région de Coaticook, dans les Cantons de l'Est. La principale conclusion de l'auteur, c'est la possibilité qu'il y ait eu plus de deux avancées glaciaires à travers la région, suivies par une succession de lacs pro-glaciaires. Parmi les autres sujets qui ont retenu l'attention de l'auteur, on peut signaler la répart…
Global Environmental Change and Regional Response
The study of global environmental change should involve geographers in the investigation of regional impacts. Although global changes are important objects of scientific study, their human significance is shaped by the geography of their impact. This depends in turn on spatial and temporal variabilities at regional and local levels which are the complex outcomes of physical, cultural and socio-economic processes. Compared with the variability imp…
