Economic activity during extreme events
Canadian Journal of Economics/Revue canadienne d'économique, EarlyView.Abstract Although extreme weather events, natural disasters or infrastructure failures potentially have important economic effects, quantifying these effects over small areas and fine time intervals has been difficult because of the fairly coarse scales available in most data sources. This paper surveys the use of relatively new and finely grained data

FluidMap: Proportional and Spatially Consistent Layout Enrichments in Multidimensional Projections
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.FluidMap faithfully represents the frequency of an attribute and preserves spatial consistency. Current space‐filling methods over‐ or under‐represent attribute categories (i.e., all Voronoi‐based methods), sacrifice spatial consistency (i.e., Nmap) or both (i.e., Voronoi‐MWα).

Environmentally adjusted productivity growth and shadow prices for dairy farms
Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics/Revue canadienne d'agroeconomie, EarlyView.Abstract We estimate the environmentally adjusted productivity growth and shadow price for Ontario dairy farms. We use an input‐oriented directional distance function and farm‐level data from 2000 to 2020. First, we find that while GHG emissions per cow increase with higher milk yields, emission intensity decreases as milk yield per cow increases.

Drones: Emergence of a transformative technology for island rodent eradications
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Drones have emerged as a potentially powerful tool to address an ongoing need for alternative rodent eradication solutions on remote islands. This potential has now been demonstrated in a diverse set of operations across the Pacific. In the coming decades, this novel toolset also offers the possibility to step beyond existing paradigms and imagine a ...
