At the ECHO Lab, we investigate how people perceive, understand, and respond to environmental and health risks. Drawing on behavioural and communication science, our research aims to inform the design and evaluation of audience-centred communication tools and strategies that support informed decision-making and protective actions.
The ECHO Lab respectfully acknowledges the Coast Salish Peoples, including the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish), səlilw̓ətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), q̓íc̓əy̓ (Katzie), kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem), Qayqayt, Kwantlen, Semiahmoo, and Tsawwassen peoples, on whose unceded traditional territories Simon Fraser University’s three campuses are situated. We recognize and honour their enduring relationships with these lands and waters, which they have cared for and stewarded since time immemorial. We are grateful for the opportunity to live, work, and learn on these lands.
