Juneteenth and the Legacy of Memory: A Reflection from Canada The power of history, media, and public knowledge helps shape our futures, and Juneteenth is a reminder of that across borders. I find myself reflecting each year on its significance, not just in the U.S., but here in Canada too, especially during these trying times. With a hope that we never revisit the injustices of eras like Jim Crow, we must stay grounded in memory https://www.iammannyj.ca/2025/06/19/juneteenth-and-the-legacy-of-memory-a-reflection-from-canada/ #Juneteenth #FreedomDay

Using GIS to find connection in the environment and in the classroom In 2014, Sheika Henry returned to a favourite location in her home country of Jamaica to get some fresh seafood. She knew the spot well, but when she arrived, it wasn’t there. It was under water. The sea had gobbled it up. Rising sea levels are just one of the indicators of global warming, and Henry, an interdisciplinary expert in the utilization of geospatial technologies — which includes geographic information systems (GIS), hydrologic models and remote sensing (aerial imagery) — is using these tools to map, predict and manage climate change and other environmental and public health stressors over time — data that can be used to design risk adaptation policies and strategies. “GIS has the ability to predict the impact of extreme events, like abnormal precipitation and temperatures and their effect on communities and in different sectors,” says Henry, the newly appointed assistant lecturer in the Department of Renewable Resources, who also teaches in the departments of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. “This facilitates mitigation and adaptation measures towards the building of resilience and sustainable development in climate challenged areas — solutions that require an interdisciplinary approach.” As Henry notes, GIS is essentially a computer program that collects and monitors data, connecting topographical information such as soil conditions, roads, lakes, rivers, physical structures and historical disaster records. This data is used to make a map, and these maps are used to identify various patterns and spatial relationships, visualizing the data in a way that makes GIS a powerful communication and decision-making tool. https://www.ualberta.ca/en/agriculture-life-environment-sciences/news/2025/march/using-gis-to-find-connection.html #GIS #Geospatial #Alberta
