• Damon Matthews, professor and Concordia Research Chair in Climate Science and Sustainability in the Department of Geography, Planning and Environment of the Faculty of Arts and Science, is quoted in an article in Le Devoir, where experts challenge the Quebec government's view of natural gas as a viable form of alternative energy in the transition away from oil. Matthews is also quoted (and pictured) in a Journal de Montréal article (PDF attached) about natural gas, which he says is a fossil fuel and not entirely clean.
• Assistant professor in the Department of Building, Civil and Environmental Engineering Ali Nazemi guested on CBC Montreal radio's 'Homerun' to discuss his latest research, where he warns of climate change impacts on Montreal infrastructure, with increasingly variable and isolated weather occurrences. The study, published in Sustainable Cities and Society, was co-authored by Nazemi and master's student Pablo Jaramillo.
