The 2013 Alberta Soil Science Workshop was held from February 19-21 in Lethbridge, with the theme 'Futursol: A New World Order.' Over the course of three days, participants heard from keynote speakers, plenary speakers and poster sessions related to what's happening in Alberta related to soil - from agriculture to forestry to land reclamation. The Alberta Land-use Knowledge Network was pleased to record many of the sessions from ASSW 2013.
Becky Doherty, graduate student, University of Lethbridge, summarizes the role of remote sensing can play in monitoring the progress of reclamation on mining and well sites. She outlines the techniques that can be combined to monitor changes on reclaimed sites.
Becky Doherty is GIS Manager with Paragon Soils and Environmental Consulting, Edmonton Alberta and a graduate student at the University of Lethbridge, Alberta. Her presentation was made at the 50th Alberta Soil Science Workshop.
