Re-storying Dammed Waters: Towards Kichisippi Pimisi (American Eel) Recovery in Algonquin Provincial Park
(University of Waterloo, 2024-04-29)Since time immemorial, the migrations of Pimisi (American Eel, Anguilla rostrata) to the Kichisippi (Ottawa River) Watershed have woven together a vast web of interdependencies. Dam operations along these waters have driven ... -
Re-Territorializing Park-Monument of The Bulgarian-Soviet Friendship
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-29)The silhouettes of colossal Soviet monuments in Bulgaria shaped the landscape of the nation, both physically, and metaphorically. Many remain abandoned, some have been removed, a few modified, but their controversy remains ... -
Re-Visioning Sustainable Urban Housing in2020, the year of perfect vision
(University of Waterloo, 2009-02-17)Civilization’s vantage point has shifted with advances in technology from an eye-level view of the horizon to a bird’s eye view from a plane, to a planet-wide view from space. This relatively new global view is now the ... -
Re-visiting the Radio-Mechanical Feedback in Brightest Cluster Galaxies
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-23)The self-regulated feedback from the Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) plays a key role in the formation and evolution of galaxies by heating and expelling gas in galaxies. The goal of this thesis is to investigate the role ... -
