Researchers in the news
The scholarly work of Concordia faculty and researchers informs and improves society on many issues that affect our daily lives. Visit the Research section to read news stories involving research at Concordia, or read the most recent items here:
- Peter Stoett, professor of political science in the Faculty of Arts and Science and director of the Loyola Sustainability Research Centre, is interviewed for Radio Canada International about a study of biodiversity in the Antarctic he co-wrote with an interdisciplinary group of researchers. They draw conclusions about the mounting pressure on the Antarctic from tourism, climate change and transnational pollution. The study, published recently in PLOS Biology, is covered in The Science Times and Le Réseau d'Information Municipale du Québec (behind a paywall).
