From raging wildfires to destructive floods and habitat loss \u2013 these extreme events can be monitored and mitigated with targeted policies informed by the best-available science. Government departments like Natural Resources Canada (NRCan)<\/a> are mandated to conduct science for the public good and ensure that the knowledge is shared. The process of sharing science is called knowledge exchange.<\/p>\n

But how is it done effectively? And what even is \u2018knowledge exchange\u2019?<\/p>\n

A team of researchers working between Carleton University, Dalhousie University and NRCan\u2019s Canadian Forest Service (CFS)<\/a> has been addressing these questions.<\/p>\n

Led by Dr. Vivian Nguyen<\/a> (Carleton University), Dr. Alana Westwood<\/a> (Dalhousie University), and Dr. Matthew Falconer<\/a> (NRCan-CFS), the project is funded by a SSHRC Partnership Engage grant<\/a>. The partnership is one of the first focusing on science-policy solutions at NRCan and is a great example of collaboration and knowledge exchange itself across disciplines, including social science, linguistics, and forestry.<\/p>\n

Using data from both a systematic literature review and a study of the CFS\u2019s knowledge exchange model, we are understanding:<\/p>\n
