Using the caribou cumulative effects model, an existing decision support tool, we evaluate 6 alternative development scenarios, from no leasing to full leasing with standard mitigation conditions
Arctic Borderlands Ecological Knowledge Cooperative: Can Local Knowledge Inform Caribou Management?
Project
This project looked at local knowledge of the Porcupine Caribou Herd, collected by the Arctic Borderlands Ecological Knowledge Co-op (ABEKC). While local observations indicated that the herd was...
Arctic Borderlands Ecological Knowledge Cooperative: Can Local Knowledge Inform Caribou Management?
Resource
While quantitative analyses have traditionally been used to measure overall caribou herd health, qualitative observational data can also provide timely information that reflects what people on the...
Biological Soil Crusts and Native Species for Northern Mine Site Restoration

Biochar is a soil amendment that results from heating various biological ingredients, such as wood, fish or animal bone under oxygen limited conditions and has proven to promote plant growth, as well...
Passive Treatment of Mine Drainage Waters: The Use of Biochars and Wood Products to Enhance Metal Removal Efficiency
Resource
Passive biological treatments have been proposed as a possible efficient and cost effective treatment method for metal bearing water discharged from mine sites after closure. Several biofilters are...
