Lab / Research

 

The Community-Based Conservation and Research Group, led by Dr. Tony Charles (www.tonycharles.ca), explores environmental and sustainability challenges, and their solutions, in local communities across Nova Scotia and around the world. The team has two main areas of emphasis. First, Dr. Charles is the Director of the Community Conservation Research Network – based here at Saint Mary’s but operating globally – which conducts studies on how communities effectively combine environmental stewardship with sustainable local economies, and how governments can actively support community conservation initiatives. Second, a set of projects led by Dr. Charles focuses on coastal communities – how they can best plan their future based on healthy coasts and oceans, and in ways that build community resilience in the face of increasing hazards from the sea (such as sea level rise, hurricanes and oil spills).  

Please contact Dr. Charles if you are interested in undergraduate, graduate or post-doctoral research!
