Conceptual Models as Tools for Communication Across Disciplines
Resource
This paper suggests that researchers can improve interdisciplinary science through the use of conceptual models as a communication tool. The authors share lessons from a workshop in which...
Controls on Methylmercury Concentrations in Lakes and Streams of Peatland-Rich Catchments Along a 1700 km Permafrost Gradient
Resource
Permafrost thaw may increase the production of neurotoxic methylmercury (MeHg) in northern peatlands, but the downstream delivery of MeHg is uncertain. We quantified total mercury (THg) and MeHg...
Delaying Conservation Actions Matters for Species Vulnerable to Climate Change
Resource
Abstract Climate change vulnerability assessments are commonly used to identify species or populations at risk from global climate change, but few translate impact assessments to climate change...
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...

Podcast - Shift talks Sacred Science with Alvin First Rider, Brett Purdy, and Emily Herdman
Resource
Alvin First Rider speaks about his nation's use western science alongside Indigenous Knowledge to bring buffalo back to their historical plains.
Sacred Science Video Series
Project
Organization:
Bringing together Indigenous knowledge and western science creates opportunities for new solutions to environmental challenges, including issues that are important to Indigenous People. The Sacred...
Satellite Determination of Peatland Water Table Temporal Dynamics by Localizing Representative Pixels of A SWIR-Based Moisture Index
Resource
The OPtical TRApezoid Model (OPTRAM) is a physically-based approach for remote soil moisture estimation. OPTRAM is based on the response of short-wave infrared (SWIR) reflectance to vegetation water...
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...

Jim Schieck discusses how cumulative effects are currently being assessed in Alberta.
Video - Assessment of forest attributes using airborne and terrestrial LiDAR
Resource
This presentation discusses the different ways that LiDAR data can be effectively used in forestry management applications.
Video - Blood Tribe Buffalo Restoration Project
Resource
Members of the Káínawa – or Blood Tribe – are applying training in western science, alongside their Indigenous Knowledge, to bring buffalo back to their historical habitat in southern Alberta, the...
Video - Building a Sustainable Alberta Through Deployment of LiDAR Technologies: Reflections from an SRD perspective
