Constructing Habitat for a Sustainable Native Fisheries in the Sphinx Lake End Pit Lake System
Resource
Pit reclaimed such that the end pit and inlet/outlet streams would sustain in perpetuity the full range of habitat and watershed features needed to support native Athabasca Rainbow and Bull Trout
Digging Into Canadian Soils - An Introduction to Soil Science
Resource
Written entirely by members of the Canadian Society of Soil Science, "Digging into Canadian Soils: An Introduction to Soil Science" provides an introduction to the core disciplines of soil science...
Governance as a Driver of Change in the Canadian Boreal Zone
Resource
The Canadian boreal forest is primarily public land, owned and managed by provincial governments on behalf of the public interest. Boreal forest governance consists of a complex patchwork of federal...
Increasing Contributions of Peatlands to Boreal Evapotranspiration in a Warming Climate
Resource
The response of evapotranspiration (ET) to warming is of critical importance to the water and carbon cycle of the boreal biome, a mosaic of land cover types dominated by forests and peatlands. The...
Integrating Traditional and Evolutionary Knowledge in Biodiversity Conservation: A Population Level Case Study
Resource
Despite their dual importance in the assessment of endangered/threatened species, there have been few attempts to integrate traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) and evolutionary biology knowledge...
Land-use Planning Following Resource Extraction – Lessons from Grizzly Bears at Reclaimed and Active Open Pit Mines
Resource
Following closure, access management on designated trails will reduce risk of conflicts. Imposing access restrictions, preserving undisturbed habitat patches and restoring original vegetation
Life of Coal Mine Planning – Engaging in Land Use Planning at Luscar and Gregg River Mines
Resource
The Luscar and Gregg River Mines Land Management Plan Working Group was formed to develop a land management plan. The process engaged stakeholders representing a variety of community interests
Peatland Restoration Pathways to Mitigate Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Retain Peat Carbon
Resource
Peatlands play a crucial role in the global carbon (C) cycle, making their restoration a key strategy for mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and retaining C. This study analyses the most common...
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...
Setting a Foundation for Indigenous Knowledge Systems-guided Boreal Caribou (tǫdzı) Conservation Planning in the Western Boreal Region of Canada: A Systematic Map Protocol
Resource
Abstract In recent years, researchers have increasingly recognized the need to bridge Western and Indigenous knowledge systems to strengthen research in wildlife conservation. Historically, this arena...
Soil Salvage and Placement – Breaking New Ground at Teck’s Cheviot Open Pit Coal Mine
Resource
Reclamation objectives include forest establishment, watershed protection, wildlife habitat, biodiversity and recreational use, and soil management practices determine in large part the success
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...
Video - COSIA Design of Experimental Study in Support of Development of a Standard for Fines Measurement in Oil Sands
Resource
Dr. Ron Currie was project lead for a study conducted at NAIT Applied Research Centre for Oil Sands Sustainability (NARCOSS) to help develop a standard for Alberta's oil sands producers to measure...
