Biogeochemical Response to Vegetation and Hydrologic Change in an Alaskan Boreal Fen Ecosystem
Resource
Boreal peatlands store approximately one third of the earth’s terrestrial carbon, locked away in currently waterlogged and frozen conditions. Peatlands of boreal and arctic ecosystems are affected...
Citizen Science Bootcamp: Understanding your Waterways
Event
Organization
Are you concerned about a local lake or river? Do you want to start tracking water health to see how it changes over time? This workshop is for any Nova Scotian looking to monitor the health of their...
Constructing Habitat for a Sustainable Native Fisheries in the Sphinx Lake End Pit Lake System
Resource
Pit reclaimed such that the end pit and inlet/outlet streams would sustain in perpetuity the full range of habitat and watershed features needed to support native Athabasca Rainbow and Bull Trout
Equal Use of Indigenous and Scientific Knowledge in Species Assessments: A Case Study From the Northwest Territories, Canada
Resource
Interest in meaningfully including and applying Indigenous knowledge in species at risk assessment processes is growing, but serious procedural challenges remain to achieving this in international...
Graminoids Vary in Functional Traits, Carbon Dioxide and Methane Fluxes in a Restored Peatland: Implications for Modeling Carbon Storage
Resource
One metric of peatland restoration success is the re-establishment of a carbon sink, yet considerable uncertainty remains around the timescale of carbon sink trajectories. Conditions post-restoration...
Land-use Planning Following Resource Extraction – Lessons from Grizzly Bears at Reclaimed and Active Open Pit Mines
Resource
Following closure, access management on designated trails will reduce risk of conflicts. Imposing access restrictions, preserving undisturbed habitat patches and restoring original vegetation
Life of Coal Mine Planning – Engaging in Land Use Planning at Luscar and Gregg River Mines
Resource
The Luscar and Gregg River Mines Land Management Plan Working Group was formed to develop a land management plan. The process engaged stakeholders representing a variety of community interests
Peat Loss Collocates with a Threshold in Plant–Mycorrhizal Associations in Drained Peatlands Encroached by Trees
Resource
Drainage-induced encroachment by trees may have major effects on the carbon balance of northern peatlands, and responses of microbial communities are likely to play a central mechanistic role. We...
Soil Salvage and Placement – Breaking New Ground at Teck’s Cheviot Open Pit Coal Mine
Resource
Reclamation objectives include forest establishment, watershed protection, wildlife habitat, biodiversity and recreational use, and soil management practices determine in large part the success
The Third Generation of Pan-Canadian Wetland Map at 10 m Resolution Using Multisource Earth Observation Data on Cloud Computing Platform
Resource
Development of the Canadian Wetland Inventory Map (CWIM) has thus far proceeded over two generations, reporting the extent and location of bog, fen, swamp, marsh, and water wetlands across the country...
Video - COSIA Design of Experimental Study in Support of Development of a Standard for Fines Measurement in Oil Sands
Resource
Dr. Ron Currie was project lead for a study conducted at NAIT Applied Research Centre for Oil Sands Sustainability (NARCOSS) to help develop a standard for Alberta's oil sands producers to measure...
