Professor Publishes Paper in University of British Columbia Law Review

Professor Martin Olszynski's recent paper on the implementation of "adaptive management" in Alberta's energy resource sector has been accepted for publication in the University of British Columbia Law Review. In "Failed Experiments: An Empirical Assessment of Adaptive Management in Alberta's Energy Resources Sector," Professor Olszynski shows that while energy project proponents routinely invoke adaptive management, sometimes referred to as "learning by doing," to convince regulators that they will be able to mitigate their projects' adverse environmental effects, actual implementation is generally weak and in many cases non-existent.
