Health Survey of Boreal Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in Northeastern British Columbia, Canada
Resource
Boreal woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) are listed as threatened across Canada, and a basic understanding of their health status is lacking. From December 2012 to April 2013, we...
High Prevalence of Prion Protein Genotype Associated with Resistance to Chronic Wasting Disease in One Alberta Woodland Caribou Population
Resource
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease found in deer, elk and moose in North America and since recently, wild reindeer in Norway. Caribou are at-risk to encounter CWD in areas such as...
Historical Landscape Use of Migratory Caribou: New Insights From Old Antlers
Resource
Accumulations of shed caribou antlers ( Rangifer tarandus) are valuable resources for expanding the temporal scope with which we evaluate seasonal landscape use of herds. Female caribou shed their...
HydroGeoSim: A Water Purification Geosimulation Modelling Platform
Resource
The model documentation summarizes the data, variables and assumptions required to capture how water purification services are provided across landscapes in Alberta
Indigenizing the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation
Resource
This article identifies the gaps and linkages between the North American Model of wildlife conservation and Indigenous-led conservation efforts across Canada. Although a diversity of approaches to...
Indigenous Fish and Wildlife Co-management as an Opportunity to Support Inuit Well-being
Resource
This dissertation research characterizes how wildlife co-management impacts well-being in Inuit Nunangat. Abstract Inuit in the Circumpolar North are closely tied to the lands, waters, and wildlife...
Indigenous Peoples are Critical to the Success of Nature Based Solutions
Resource
Nature-based solutions (NbS) to climate change mitigation—such as ecosystem protection or conservation, improved forest management practices, as well as afforestation—can significantly reduce global...
In-situ Recovery Process Fluids
Resource
Heavy oils produced from the Alberta oil sands contain cyclic organic compounds together with sulphur and nitrogen. Upon thermal treatment they have potential to form carcinogenic, mutagenic, and toxi
Interim Report on Semi-aquatic Mammal Studies 1977-1978
Resource
Live trapping and tagging of the four study species, beaver (Castor canadensis), muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus), mink (Mustela vison), and otter (Lutra canadensis), were conducted while the study areas
Invasion, Establishment, and Range Expansion of Two Parasitic Nematodes in the Canadian Arctic
Resource
Climate warming is occurring at an unprecedented rate in the Arctic and is having profound effects on host-parasite interactions, including range expansion. Recently, two species of protostrongylid...
Investigating Flexible Migration in Hudson Bay Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou)
Resource
A masters thesis that identified environmental drivers of caribou migration in Ontario, and evaluated whether caribou exhibited a migratory syndrome. Abstract Facultative migration has been...
Large Stocks of Peatland Carbon and Nitrogen are Vulnerable to Permafrost Thaw
Resource
Northern peatlands have accumulated large stocks of organic carbon (C) and nitrogen (N), but their spatial distribution and vulnerability to climate warming remain uncertain. Here, we used machine...
Large-scale Prion Protein Genotyping in Canadian Caribou Populations and Potential Impact on Chronic Wasting Disease Susceptibility
Resource
Here, we report the prevalence and distribution of R. tarandus prion protein polymorphisms obtained from 986 caribou samples from BC, Yukon, NT, Nunavut and Saskatchewan
Large-scale Probabilistic Identification of Boreal Peatlands Using Google Earth Engine, Open-access Satellite Data, and Machine Learning
Resource
The resulting peatland occurrence model shows an accuracy of 87% compared to our validation data set. Differentiating peatlands from mineral wetlands achieved an accuracy of 69%.

Learning Across Indigenous and Western Knowledge Systems and Intersectionality: Reconciling Social Science Research Approaches
Resource
Pressing socioeconomic, political, and ecological challenges demand new approaches to creating and acting on research. Finding new approaches to knowledge creation requires turning to previously...
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...
