Early identification of a Covid-19 outbreak detected by wastewater surveillance at a large homeless shelter in Toronto, Ontario
Wastewater surveillance acted as an advanced notification leading to the timely deployment of enhanced testing prior to clinical presentation in a population with known vulnerabilities. Wastewater surveillance at the facility level is beneficial, particularly in high-risk congregate living settings such as shelters that house transient populations where clinical testing and vaccination can be challenging. Open communication, established individua…
Trends and legacy of freshwater salinization
Excessive use of road salts to maintain safe winter travel conditions leads to increasing chloride (Cl) concentrations in streams, damaging the structure and function of freshwater ecosystems. Long-term increasing stream Cl trends are generally attributed to increases in urban land cover, however recent research shows that even relatively rural streams can retain Cl and exceed water quality guidelines in summer after road salting has stopped. Unt…
Applications of 3D Printing in Physical Geography Education and Urban Visualization
Through decreasing hardware costs and novel areas of application, three-dimensional (3D) printing has become exceedingly popular in recent years. Starting with a project focused on public education about urban hydrology, we explored the use of 3D-printed landscape models in a number of regional applications. We also experimented with the use of 3D-printed city models to engage users through urban visualization. Our goal was to examine the role of…
