A Hydrogeological Landscape Framework to Identify Peatland Wildfire Smouldering Hot Sports
Resource
Northern peatlands are important global carbon stores, but there is concern that these boreal peat reserves are at risk due to increased fire frequency and severity as predicted by climate change...
A Hydrogeological Landscape Framework to Identify Peatland Wildfire Smouldering Hot Spots
Resource
This study used a combination of field measurements and modelling to assess the vulnerability of peat to smouldering in the Utikuma Region Study Area, Alberta, Canada.
Can Plant or Lichen Natural Abundance 15N Ratios Indicate the Influence of Oil Sands N Emissions on Bogs?
Resource
The 140,329 km 2 Athabasca Oil Sands Administrative Area (OSAA), which contains 8982 km 2 of bogs. Since the late 1970s, N emissions from oil sands development in the OSAA have steadily increased...

Near-surface Controls on Peatland Hydrology: Implications for Rapid Disturbance Adaptation and Enhanced Resilience to Disturbance
Resource
Northern peatlands faced compounding disturbances that transformed such critical ecosystems from long-term carbon sinks into carbon sources. Considerable investment is therefore directed for restoring...
Research as Reciprocity: Northern Cree Community-Based and Community-Engaged Research on Wild Food Contamination in Alberta’s Oil Sands Region
Resource
In this paper, the author suggests that it is possible to participate in research as an act of reciprocity; when a community asks a researcher for help on a specific topic, the application of that...

Using Stable Isotopes to Track Hydrological Processes at an Oil Sands Mine, Alberta, Canada
Resource
Water samples were collected and analyzed regularly over an eight-year period to establish inventories of site-wide water isotope signatures including seasonal and interannual changes in the recycle...
Webinar - Towards Understanding the Influence of Headwater Catchments on Water Availability in the Athabasca River Basin
Resource
This presentation highlights the importance of northern Alberta’s “mountains” and wetlands on sustaining water flows in local streams and regional rivers in the Athabasca River Basin.
