Linear Features, Forestry and Wolf Predation of Caribou and Other Prey in West Central Alberta
Resource
The primary goal of this research was to determine how human activities affect caribou population dynamics through modification of predator‐prey relationships. This knowledge can then be used to...
Linking Habitat, Populations and Policy for Caribou in The Face of Increasing Disturbance
Resource
This thesis analyzes female caribou resource selection response to fires and links disturbances to caribou behavior and demography throughout western Canada by relating resource selection responses to...
Managing Wolves (Canis Lupus) to Recover Threatened Woodland Caribou (Rangifer Tarandus Caribou) in Alberta
Resource
Across Canada, woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou (Gmelin, 1788)) populations are declining because of human-induced changes to food webs that are resulting in apparent competition-induced...
Measured Concentrations of Metals and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Plants, Berries and Soil Located North of Fort McMurray, Alberta
Resource
The objective of this study is to measure and characterize concentrations of metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in plants, berries and soil predominantly located north of Fort McMurray
Media Coverage of Oil Sands Pipelines: A Chronological Record of Headlines from 2010 to 2014
Resource
This report provides a chronological record of media headlines related to a variety of pipelines and pipeline proposals in Canada and the United States from April 2010 to December 19, 2014.
Metrics for Assessing Fisheries Productivity and Offsetting Strategies under Canada’s New Fisheries Act
Resource
Best predictors for fisheries productivity remain the quantity and quality of available fish habitat combined with abundance, size structure data and species composition within the given habitats
Microcosm Evaluation of Community Level Physiological Profiling in Oil Sands Process Affected Water
Resource
microcosm-based experiment conducted to investigate ability of community level physiological profiling to detect changes in an aquatic microbial community from exposure to oil sands process water
Monitoring Procedures for Wellsite, In-Situ Oil Sands and Coal Mine Reclamation in Alberta – December 2014 Update
Resource
Scope of the project is to develop a geomatics-based monitoring system to support the Government of Alberta’s efforts for monitoring reclamation success. Software will support decision making process
Moose Response to Disturbance in West-central Alberta
Project
Contact
Organization:
This Caribou Program project examines how moose respond to different re-vegetation trajectories after disturbance. This will give re-vegetation prescriptions that favour moose less, and therefore are...
Natural Regeneration on Seismic Lines Influences Movement Behaviour of Wolves and Grizzly Bears
Resource
Across the boreal forest of Canada, habitat disturbance is the ultimate cause of caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) declines. Habitat restoration is a focus of caribou recovery efforts, with a goal...
Oil Sands Mining Reclamation Challenge Dialogue – Report and Appendices
Resource
While the Challenge Paper intended to focus on a few key aspects of the reclamation challenge for mining in the oil sands area, it ended up provoking a wide range of reactions
Oil Sands Research and Information Network: Creating and Sharing Knowledge to Support Environmental Management of the Mineable Oil Sands
Resource
The Oil Sands Research and Information Network (OSRIN) is a university-based, independent organization that compiles, interprets and analyses available knowledge about managing the environmental...
Oil Sands Rules, Tools and Capacity: Are we Ready for Upcoming Challenges?
Resource
138 potential oil sands challenges, categorized based on a set of criteria and solutions to the most pressing ones. About 84% of the challenges identified were expected to occur in the next 5 years
Oil Sands Tailings Management Project
Resource
