As the impacts from anthropogenic climate change are increasing globally, people are experiencing dramatic shifts in weather, temperature, wildlife and vegetation patterns, and water and food quality and availability. These changes impact human health and well-being, and resultantly, climate...

The marginalized frailty model is often used for the analysis of correlated times in survival data. When only two correlated times are analyzed, this model is often referred to as the Clayton--Oakes model [7,22]. With time-to-event data, there may exist multiple end points (competing risks)...

As climate change impacts are felt around the globe, people are increasingly exposed to changes in weather patterns, wildlife and vegetation, and water and food quality, access and availability in their local regions. These changes can impact human health and well-being in a variety of ways:...

Africa is projected to experience diverse and severe impacts of climate change. The need to adapt is increasingly recognized, from the community level to regional and national governments to the donor community, yet adaptation faces many constraints, particularly in low income settings. This...

The Canadian Northern Corridor (CNC) has been proposed as a potential solution to the challenges presented by limited transportation infrastructure in Northern Canada (Sulzenko and Fellows 2016). Building, operating and maintaining infrastructure in a northern corridor would be inherently...
