The Hydrochemical Evolution of a Constructed Peatland in a Post-mining Landscape Six Years After Construction
Resource
Study Focus: Six years of hydrochemical data (2013 – 2018) from the Sandhill Fen Watershed (SFW), a 52-ha upland-peatland catchment that was built upon highly saline soft tailings, were used to...
The Hydrology of Lease 17: A Report of Studies Completed in the Year 1973
Resource
Flood frequency prediction for Syncrude Lease 17 is necessary for both mining activities and environmental protection. Flood frequency curves can be derived from one year’s local data
The Impact of Fuel Treatments on Wildfire Behavior in North American Boreal Fuels: A Simulation Study Using FIRETEC
Resource
Current methods of predicting fire spread in Canadian forests are suited to large wildfires that spread through natural forests. Recently, the use of mechanical and thinning treatments of forests in...
The Impact of Saline Waters upon Freshwater Biota: (A Literature Review and Bibliography)
Resource
The impact of saline waters upon freshwater biota, having special reference to the AOSERP study area, is reviewed. Toxicity summaries for individual ions are presented.
The Importance of Continuous Dialogue in Community-Based Wildlife Monitoring: Case Studies of Dzan and łuk Dagaii in the Gwich’in Settlement Area
Resource
Rapid environmental change in the Arctic elicits numerous concerns for ecosystems, natural resources, and ways of life. Robust monitoring is essential to adaptation and management in light of these...
The Influence of Energy Development on the Ecology of the Ferruginous Hawk in the Western Canadian Grassland Ecosystems
Resource
The Ferruginous Hawk (FEHA) has been listed as an Endangered Species under the Alberta Wildlife Act by the provincial government since 2006 (Alberta FEHA Recovery Team 2009); and were re-listed as a...
The Influence of Forest Harvesting Activities on Seismic Line Tree and Shrub Regeneration in Upland Mixedwood Boreal Forests
Resource
Alberta’s forests are becoming increasingly disturbed and fragmented by the cumulative effects of anthropogenic disturbances exacerbated by the enduring footprint of seismic lines on the landscape...
The Influence of Oil Sands Development on Trapping in the Fort McMurray Region
Resource
Registered trappers were 70 percent native; the average age was 46. The majority held other jobs concurrently, and spent less than two months on the trapline in 1975-76 (a low year on the fur cycle).
The Influence of Postfire Recovery and Environmental Conditions on Boreal Vegetation
Resource
Climate change is increasing the frequency and extent of fires in the boreal biome of North America. These changes can alter the recovery of both canopy and understory vegetation. There is uncertainty...
The Influence of Uranium Mine Tailings on Tree Growth at Elliot Lake, Ontario
Resource
A four year study has been carried out to determine the ability of coniferous trees to aid in the reclamation of uranium tailings at Elliot Lake. Five species were planted: white cedar, white spruce...
The Interactive State of Mass Timber in Canada (SMTC) Dashboard
Resource
The interactive SMTC Dashboard provides information on hundreds of mass timber projects and mass timber manufacturing facilities in Canada.
The Long-term Impact of Pipeline Construction on Solonetzic Mixed Prairie
Resource
Study concentrated on the well-documented 1981 right-of-way, and compared it to the oldest trench, installed in 1957, and to the undisturbed adjacent mixed prairie
The Metabolism of Selected Organic Compounds by Microorganisms in the Athabasca River
Resource
Incubation of samples taken along a transect of the river just downstream from the oil sands plants showed higher rates of microbial degradation on the west bank where effluents and drainage would be
The Million Dollar Mistake
Resource
In business, a million dollar mistake refers to an error that has three main characteristics. First, it’s a big one. It has large consequences that are hard to correct. Second, it’s definitely not...
The Multiple Toxicity of Vanadium, Nickel, and Phenol to Fish
Resource
Goal of the project was the establishment of criteria safeguarding fish from toxic effects of mixtures of vanadium, nickel, and phenol to fish; all are associated with oil sands developments
The Multisource Vegetation Inventory (MVI): A Satellite-Based Forest Inventory for the Northwest Territories Taiga Plains
Resource
Wall-to-wall 30 m raster maps of broad forest type, stand height, crown closure, stand volume, total volume, aboveground biomass, and stand age were created for a ~400,000 km2 area, validated with independent data, and generalized into a polygon GIS layer resembling a traditional FI map. The MVI project showed that a reasonably accurate FI map for large, remote, predominantly non-inventoried boreal regions can be obtained at a low cost by combining limited field data with remote sensing data from multiple sources.
