She was awarded a Canadian National Science and Engineering Research doctoral fellowship for her work on reconstructing the paleogeography and paleoenvironment of the Queen Charlotte Islands/Haida Gwaii. The Canadian Social Sciences and Humanities Council subsequently awarded her a postdoctoral fellowship for her research relating climate change to human evolution and adaptability over the last 135,000 years. She has been co-leader of International Geological Correlation Program project 526, 'Risks, Resources, and Record of the Past on the Continental Shelf'. She and her husband Bob are partners in RITM Corp., a consulting company committed to helping organizations, especially in the resource sector, reach their potential while recognizing we are in a changing world. She ran for Member of the Canadian Parliament in 2011 and is currently a member of Shadow Caucus with the Federal Liberal Party of Canada. Renee is the co-author (with Robert Reid) of The Climate Connection: Climate Change and Modern Human Evolution (Cambridge University Press, 2010). She lives with her family on Vancouver Island.
'... a wide-ranging book with high ambitions ... excellent read for the general reader ...' Miriam Belmaker, Reports of the National Center for Science Education '... a very informative and readable tour through the history of humankind and its relations to the climates ...' Natural Hazards Observer 'Ethnobiologists, especially those concerned with the role of environmental interactions in the history of human evolution and the development of farming, will find this book useful. In particular, the synthesis of recent research is especially enjoyable, and supported by an extensive bibliography and informative endnotes. The book also stands as an important example of how palaeoanthropological and ethnobiological perspectives can be brought to bear on the question of what to do about surviving climate change.'
