Heather Braiden joined the Faculty of Urbanism and Landscape Architecture at the University of Montreal in 2021. Her research focuses on the interplay between natural phenomena and human interventions that shape and recreate landscapes. She is particularly interested in how ice movement along the Saint Lawrence River and the Ottawa River influences communities and the built environment. Key areas of her study include the construction and evolution of places, recreational activities, and the meanings ascribed to these areas, as well as how people have perceived and valued ice. Braiden has established herself as a founding member of the Land│Terre Design Research Network, which promotes research in Canadian landscape architecture addressing climate change, Indigenous issues, and industrial heritage. Additionally, she is engaged in several research projects aimed at advancing climate-positive design and addressing urban resilience.
