Description: There is a great deal of research pertaining to the standards and regulations required to create “accessible” spaces. However, by only following minimum recommendations and guidelines, facilities are falling short of meeting and exceeding all people’s accessibility needs. Introduced in 1988, The City of Calgary mandates measures that follow established Access Design Standards (ADS), which exceed Alberta Building Code requirements. While these standards are required in all new City of Calgary buildings and renovation projects, they are not required to integrate the standards into existing infrastructure. Research indicates that the built environment directly reflects society's...

Description: In the 1880s, Butte, Montana was home to one of the richest mineral deposits in the world. Today, the region is home of two of the most toxic superfunds sites in America, the Anaconda Smelter Site and the Berkeley Pit. In an effort to describe past and present air pollutant emissions in the Butte area we employed biomonitoring and dendrochronological techniques. Pine needle, bark, and core samples were collected from trees adjacent to the superfund sites. These samples were digested and analyzed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS). The goal of this analysis is to quantitatively determine the levels of heavy metals over the last century and if this data can be...
