No break in financial crisis
Financial markets continue to plummet as the global economic crisis steepens. SFU experts who can provide some insight include:
Stephen Easton, professor, economics and the school for international studies, 778.782.3565, stephen_easton@sfu.ca (limited time due to midterms)
Doug McArthur, professor, public policy program, 604.786.0016 (cell), doug_mcarthur@sfu.ca
Amir Rubin, assistant professor, business, 778.782.5834; arubin@sfu.ca
Andrey Pavlov, associate professor, finance, 778.763.3696; apavlov@sfu.ca
Protection urged for fossil site
An SFU post-doctoral researcher is leading a drive to see a 51-million-year-old lake bed between Kamloops and Cache Creek protected from fossil hunters. Bruce Archibald has written letters to the government, including one signed by some of Canada’s leading paleontologists, expressing concern over the state of the area known as the McAbee site. Rich in fossils from the early Eocene epoch, it is believed to hold present-day clues about the how plants and animals adapt to climate change. After 10 years of trying to draw attention to the problem, his latest letter expresses shock at the extent of new destruction.
