About the author
Dr. Mary J. Thornbush was currently appointed as Adjunct Professor in Geography at Brock University, Canada. She is also part of a collaborative project as a research fellow in Biological Sciences at Brock. Her current research focus is on sustainability, both within urban environments as well as more broadly within the scope of climate change adaptation. She continues to explore issues around weathering and erosion, now examining coastal settings in Atlantic Canada as well as rock structures in the Niagara Region and further afield in Ontario. Dr. Thornbush is also interested in exploring cultural heritage sustainability and is currently developing research projects in this topical area through native rock art on the Canadian Shield.
She graduated from the University of Toronto (Canada) in 2001 and earned her doctorate at the University of Oxford (UK) in 2006. Her doctoral thesis led to work on the Oxford Transport Strategy as part of environmental monitoring of the impacts on the built environment.
This later led to research on traffic pollution and urban sustainability incorporating other relevant research interests, including landscape change, urban greening and energy conservation. She was Senior Research Associate with the Oxford University Centre for the Environment in 2007-2008, and more recently an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Birmingham (UK).
