Developing a Reclamation Costing Framework for the Athabasca Oil Sands
Resource
The Athabasca oil sands are a significant component of the economy in Alberta. However, they also represent a large environmental risk. At the end of mining operations, companies are expected to begin...
Environmental and Management Drivers of Carbon Dioxide and Methane Emissions From Actively-Extracted Peatlands in Alberta, Canada
Resource
The installation of drainage ditches and removal of vegetation in preparation for vacuum harvesting alters the carbon dynamics of peatlands. However, we lack the measurements to understand the spatial...
Flexible migration by woodland caribou in Ontario, Canada
Resource
Abstract Recent studies of ungulate movement ecology suggest that seasonal movement tactics often vary within a population. The forest-tundra and forest-dwelling ecotypes of woodland caribou (...

Prompt Rewetting of Drained Peatlands Reduces Climate Warming Despite Methane Emissions
Resource
Peatlands are strategic areas for climate change mitigation because of their matchless carbon stocks. Drained peatlands release this carbon to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide (CO2). Peatland...
