A Causal Modelling Approach to Informing Woodland Caribou Conservation Policy from Observational Studies
Resource
Examines the scientific framework for woodland caribou recovery efforts through the lens of causal modelling, highlighting feasible steps that could be taken to improve the rigour of causal inferences
A Cumulative Watershed Effects Assessment Template for the Eastern Slopes: The Geomorphic and Riparian Components with a Case Study of Todd Creek Watershed
Resource
This three-part document provides a template to guide cumulative watershed effects assessments (CWEA) within Alberta's Eastern Slopes.
A Mesocosm‐Scale Study of Chemical and Ecological Response to Different Types of Oil Sands Tailings and Process Water (2019 ‐ 2021)
Resource
The use of pit lakes (PL) to reclaim pits at the end of mine life is common in metal and coal extraction operations. Oil sands mine operators of Canada’s Oil Sands Innovation Alliance (COSIA)...
A Retrospective Summary of Cervid Morbidity and Mortality in Ontario and Nunavut Regions of Canada
Resource

A Review of Exploration Tools and Techniques to Support the COSIA Land Challenge: Near Zero Footprint Seismic Exploration
Resource
Seismic lines are an essential operation in the exploration for natural resources, providing more efficient and safe travel through a variety of topography with predictable costs associated. However...
A Review of Reindeer Lichen (Cladonia subgenus Cladina) Linear Growth Rates
Resource
Cladonia subgenus Cladina (the reindeer lichens) can be a dominant part of terrestrial ecosystems worldwide. They are particularly abundant in arctic-alpine and boreal regions, where they are a...
A Synthesis of Three Decades of Eco-Hydrological Research at Scotty Creek, NWT, Canada
Resource
Scotty Creek, Northwest Territories (NWT), Canada, has been the focus of eco-hydrological research for nearly three decades. Over this period, field and modelling studies have generated new insights...
Advancing Harvest System and Silvicultural Practices for Improved Woodland Caribou and Fibre Outcomes
Project
Contact
Organization:
This 3-year study will evaluate the potential of new forest management practices to benefit both woodland caribou and growth and yield. Over the course of the project, we will explore stand...
Analysis and Improvement of Linear Features to Increase Caribou Functional Habitat in West-central and North-western Alberta
Resource
We used GPS data from caribou and wolves, field data on human and wildlife use of seismic lines and pipelines, vegetation heights extracted from LiDAR, non-invasive fecal DNA collections, and a suite...
Assessing Pathogen Prevalence and the Health of Ungulates in West-central Alberta Caribou Ranges
Project
Contact
This project will gather data on the disease and parasites carried by moose, deer, and elk to determine the risk of transmission to caribou. Land managers need to know the threats faced by caribou in...
BEE·ing Green: Pollinator Conservation & Ecology in Reclaimed Pits & Quarries
Resource
In the summer of 2009, planning and research began at Waynco Ltd. (a subsidiary of Nelson Aggregate Co.) in Cambridge, which was nearing the final stages of rehabilitation. Although the soil hasn't...
Behaviour and Calving Success of Boreal Caribou in Relation to Oil and Gas Development
Resource
Anthropogenic disturbance like oil and gas development is thought to negatively affect boreal caribou through displacement and degradation of habitat, and through creation of favourable conditions for...
Bioengineering and Conventional Erosion and Sediment Control Solutions for Oil Sands Operations
Resource
This report, prepared by Associated Environmental (Associated) on behalf of Canada's Oil Sands Innovation Alliance (COSIA), documents the benefits and limitations of bioengineering and conventional...
Braiding Indigenous Rights and Endangered Species Law
