Who knew that windmills are territorial? According to an article published online this week by the Ontario Council on University Research, UWindsor researcher Rupp Carriveau did—and his work can turn that knowledge into better wind farms.

Placed too close together, turbines interfere with one another, reducing their overall efficiency, but Dr. Carriveau, an associate professor in civil and environmental engineering, is working to determine how strategic placement can exploit the windmills’ wakes to increase power generation.

Before scientists like Galileo contributed to the development of the thermometer in the 17th century, there was no way to accurately measure and record temperature.

So when it comes to climate change, determining with any certainty whether it’s been naturally occurring over the last few hundred thousand years, or if it’s a more recent phenomenon, can be tricky business in the absence of any precise historical data to cite.

Windsor based artist and School of Visual Arts professor Rod Strickland will offer examples and basic instruction on how to build a radically sustainable building from recycled materials in a public presentation entitled “Talking About Earthships” on Tuesday, June 26, in downtown Windsor.

His lecture will draw on Strickland’s experiences working with the Earthship Biotecture of architect Michael Reynolds and begins at 7 p.m. in the Community Innovation through Vital Interaction and Collaboration (CIVIC) Space, at 411 Pelissier Street.
