Book Description
Canadian Geography: A Scholarly Bibliography is a compendium of published works on geographical studies of Canada and its various provinces. It includes works on geographical studies of Canada as a whole, on multiple provinces, and on individual provinces. Works covered include books, monographs, atlases, book chapters, scholarly articles, dissertations, and theses. The contents are organized first by region into main chapters, and then each chapter is divided into sections: General Studies, Cultural and Social Geography, Economic Geography, Historical Geography, Physical Geography, Political Geography, and Urban Geography. Each section is further sub-divided into specific topics within each main subject. All known publications on the geographical studies of Canada—in English, French, and other languages—covering all types of geography are included in this bibliography. It is an essential resource for all researchers, students, teachers, and government officials needing information and references on the varied aspects of the environments and human geographies of Canada.

Book Description
This paper was presented at the session titled 'Road weather information systems (RWIS): an emerging technology'. The presentation examines the importance of the ground transportation sector and the impacts of winter weather in Canada on the ground tranpsortation system. Some characteristics of Canadian winters are reviewed in detail along with the increasing usage of road treatment chemicals in a number of provinces. The use of Road Weather Information Systems (RWIS) is discussed. The characteristics of RWIS are presented along with a few examples and variations. The state of play of RWIS technology in Europe, the United States, and Canada is discussed. Road weather services required to derive the maximum benefits from RWIS are then presented with particular emphasis on the road weather forecast services. Training is amongst the other services required. The inclusion of road wether in the recently completed ITS Architecture for Canada will be reviewed, a world first for national ITS architectures, as well as what this bodes for the future. Finally, the Meteorological Service of Canda's role in assisting transportation agencies will be briefly described. The road weather area will continue to be one of the most exciting areas of development for the application of meteorology in the years to come.

Under the Weather

Book Description
Humans and human mobility, including driving and flying, are entangled with the climate emergency. Fossil-fuelled mobility worsens severe weather, and in turn, severe weather disrupts human mobility. A shift to zero-emission vehicles is critical but insufficient to repair the damage or prepare communities for the coming disruptions severe weather will bring. In Under the Weather Stephanie Sodero explores the intersection between human mobility and severe weather. Anchored in two Atlantic Canadian hurricane case studies, Hurricane Juan in Mi'kma'ki/Nova Scotia in 2003 and Hurricane Igor in Ktaqmkuk/Newfoundland in 2010, the book contributes to contemporary cultural and policy discussions by offering five practical recommendations – revolutionize mobility, prioritize vital mobility of medical goods and services, embrace ecological mobilities, rebrand redundancy, and think flexibly – for how mobility can be reimagined to work with, rather than against, the climate in ways that also benefit the health, education, and economy of local communities. This ecological approach to mobilities sheds light on extreme mobility dependency and the impact of mobility disruptions on the ground in Canadian communities. Focusing on the entangled relationship between human mobility and the climate, Under the Weather examines how communities can transform their relationship with mobility to enable greater resilience.
