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
Recreational Trail Impacts on the Plant Communities of Castle and Castle Wildland Provincial Parks in Southern Alberta
Resource
I measured the effect of recreational trails on plant species richness, community composition, and the presence of exotic and rare species in the Castle Provincial Parks of Alberta, Canada, by...
Seasonal Patterns of Spatial Fidelity and Temporal Consistency in the Distribution and Movements of a Migratory Ungulate
Resource
How animals use their range can have physiological, ecological, and demographic repercussions, as well as impact management decisions, species conservation, and human society. Fidelity, the...
Seismic Line Impacts on Proximal Boreal Forest and Wetland Environments in Alberta
Resource
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
Shortening Fire Return Interval Predisposes West-Central Canadian Boreal Peatlands to More Rapid Vegetation Growth and Transition to Forest Cover
Resource
Climate change in northern latitudes is increasing the vulnerability of peatlands and the riparian transition zones between peatlands and upland forests (referred to as ecotones) to greater frequency...
Shrub Changes with Proximity to Anthropogenic Disturbance in Boreal Wetlands Determined Using Bi-temporal Airborne LiDAR in the Oil Sands Region, Alberta Canada
Resource
Bi-temporal LiDAR data used to identify correspondence between density of anthropogenic disturbances, wetland shape complexity and changes in vegetation height within >1800 wetlands near Fort McKay
Tactical Departures and Strategic Arrivals: Divergent Effects of Climate and Weather on Caribou Spring Migrations
Resource
A 2019 academic paper that looks at factors affecting caribou migration timing and speed. The paper concludes that later arrival at calving grounds might indicate that females are in worse condition...
The Biophysical Climate Mitigation Potential of Boreal Peatlands During the Growing Season
Resource
Peatlands and forests cover large areas of the boreal biome and are critical for global climate regulation. They also regulate regional climate through heat and water vapour exchange with the...
The Boreal-Arctic Wetland and Lake Dataset
Resource
Here we present the Boreal–Arctic Wetland and Lake Dataset (BAWLD), a land cover dataset based on an expert assessment, extrapolated using random forest modelling from available spatial datasets of...
The Role of Weather and Long-Term Prey Dynamics as Drivers of Wolf Population Dynamics in a Multi-Prey System
Resource
As climate change accelerates in northern latitudes, there is an increasing need to understand the role of climate in influencing predator-prey systems. We investigated wolf population dynamics and...
Theses - University of Lethbridge
Project
Organization:
Electronic theses from University of Lethbridge students.
Tree Species Mapping Around Reclaimed Oil and Gas Wells Sites Using Hyperspectral and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) Remote Sensing
Resource
Oil and gas activities in Alberta require disturbing forested lands, among other ecosystems, in order to extract resources. Due to the number of oil and gas sites requiring reclamation, monitoring can...
Vermillion River Watershed Stories of Stewardship Story Map
Resource
The Vermillion River watershed region, found in central Alberta between Edmonton and Lloydminster, is home to residents and farmers who rely on the watershed for drinking water, agriculture, and...
Video - A multi-level classification for Boreal wetlands
Resource
This presentation discusses the need for a multi-level classification for boreal wetlands and accurate change detection.
Video - Alberta Water Extent Monitoring Pilot Study
Resource
This presentation discusses the Alberta water extent monitoring pilot study, with the goal to create a database that has the potential for implementation at a provincial level.
Video - Bathymetric LiDARs for Hydrographic Mapping
Resource
This presentation talks about Bathymetric LiDARs for Hydrographic Mapping with a focus on ALTM systems and data fusion.
Video - EPCOR’s Source Water Protection Plan for the North Saskatchewan River
Resource
This presentation explains the holistic approach to protecting the watershed of the North Saskatchewan River.
Video - Functional Environmental Flows: A Practical Strategy for Healthy Rivers
Resource
This presentation describes how focusing on functional flows versus typical water conservation management could improve aquatic in-stream ecosystems while meeting current water allocations.
