To that end, this study uses data from a 2016 survey of residents in Southern Ontario, Canada, to estimate the characteristics and motivations of individuals indicating the most interest in commuting further using AVs. Comparing findings with existing research on commute lengths and AV adoption, ...

The key question I address here is the extent to which it is possible to discern effects of the PIAAC study on the adult literacy field. This matters a great deal – Canada led the way in the devel- opment of the survey and invested very heavily in it, as discussed below. Yet, there...
A first-of-its-kind study by environmental engineers at The University of Ontario, found the pharmaceutical industry is significantly more emission-intensive (13% more) than the automotive industry despite the sector being 28% smaller. It's not an overstatement to say that a level of opacity ...
Oxygen depletion constitutes a major threat to lake ecosystems and the services they provide. Most of the world’s lakes are located >45° N, where accelerated climate warming and elevated carbon loads might severely increase the risk of hypoxia, b
While it is impossible to list all potential unobserved covariates, we directly address four of the most important potential unobserved variables and provide evidence for why we do not think they are driving our results. Variation in co-benefits of standing forests to landowners If landowners vary ...
contortus infecting sheep in Ontario, environmental factors are important in driving the inhibition of ingested larvae during autumn, whereas host physiology determines the disinhibition rate of hypobiotic larvae in existing infections. Out of season lambing may become more common under climate change ...
Climate change has shaped bee distributions over the past century. Here, we conducted the first species-specific assessment of future climate change impacts on North American bumblebee distributions, using the most recent global change scenarios develope
potentially driving a 3-month long summertime peak in atmospheric Hg0concentrations (Fisher et al.2012; Zhang et al.2015; Sonke et al.2018). The global atmosphere is also a relatively small reservoir, containing 4000 Mg of Hg, compared to the 49 000 Mg in permafrost surface soils. Understan...
There is a growing focus on NCS interventions (alongside integrated actions) as a priority approach for nations to address drivers of environmental degradation and inequity in the pursuit of sustainable development [37]. Conversely, there are widespread concerns that rigid, blanket approaches to environ...
