Graduate student Paul D. Grosman, who is completing a master’s degree in Concordia’s Department of Geography, Planning and Environment, has found a new method to reduce collisions between moose and vehicles. His solution? Removing pools of salt that accumulate beside roads and highways and attract the large mammals as they seek out sodium. Following the publication of his research findings, headlines on his study have appeared in media including Express.be, Journal de Montreal, La Presse, Le Soleil, Le Quotidien, United Press International, Mother Nature Network, Science Daily, The Gazette, Ottawa Citizen, Edmonton Journal, Calgary Herald, Saskatoon Star-Phoenix, Vancouver Sun, Agence Science-Presse and Travel Industry Today. Grosman conducted his investigation with Concordia professors Jochen A.G. Jaeger and Pascale M. Biron, as well as colleagues from the Université du Québec à Rimouski and the Ministère des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune du Québec.
