Preservation engineering and climate change-adapted building design
Abstract: This talk explores how preservation engineering adapts current buildings to withstand more extreme weather, altered trends in temperature fluctuations and environmental stresses, while also guiding the design of new structures built to endure the increasing impact of climate change. Dr. Daniele Malomo鈥檚 research combines sustainable retrofit and repair methods for existing buildings with climate-adaptive principles in new designs.
Celebrating Asian Heritage: Film Screening of Big Fight in Little Chinatown & Panel Discussion
Join the SPGH Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Anti-Racism Standing Committee for a special event celebrating Asian heritage with a screening of Big Fight in Little Chinatown, a powerful documentary by Karen Cho. The film explores how Chinatowns across North America are confronting displacement and gentrification while showcasing community resistance and resilience.

Unraveling the biophysical mechanistic links between climate change and infectious disease transmission
Abstract: There is clear evidence that climate change will alter the timing, intensity, and geographic range of infectious disease outbreaks with important implications for public health. Nevertheless, the mechanistic links between climate and infectious disease transmission, particularly for respiratory infections, remain incompletely resolved.

Building Capacity for Pragmatic Clinical Trials in Canada
Adjunct Research Professor Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics Western University
The potential of carbon offsets in agriculture: promoting the adoption of technologies and best management practices
Abstract: Carbon sequestration practices have the dual benefit of replenishing soil organic matter levels while simultaneously mitigating greenhouse gas emissions by capturing and storing carbon in agricultural soils. Despite their potential, these practices are far from being widespread. The first part of the talk will examine how uncertainty and risk play a part in farmer鈥檚 decisions to adopt intercropping, a practice shown to enrich soils and absorb carbon.
Climate change, extreme heat, and health
Abstract: Climate change has resulted in an increase in the global mean temperature. In recent decades, Canada has seen a rise in the frequency, duration, and intensity of heat waves. In order to provide patient care and health care delivery with broader strategies for mitigating and adapting to rising temperatures, a comprehensive understanding of the wide range of health impacts of extreme heat exposure is crucial.
