When it comes to resource development, northern B.C. has strong researchers looking at the impact on environment, and community and human health. But the groups aren’t necessarily working together and sharing that knowledge, said Chris Buse. “There’s not a lot of integrative cross-talk,” said Buse, the project lead for the new Cumulative Impacts Research Consortium. The University of Northern B.C. initiative launched this weekend to introduce its research team and showcase other experts in an event open to the public on Friday and Saturday. CIRC was born in January 2014, Buse said, out of “this idea that we need a new kind of body that’s capable of spending a significant amount of time and energy really focusing on this issue and doing it in an integrative way.”
