We used GPS data from caribou and wolves, field data on human and wildlife use of seismic lines and pipelines, vegetation heights extracted from LiDAR, non-invasive fecal DNA collections, and a suite...
Assessing Peatland Restoration Success to Meet Alberta’s Peatland Reclamation Criteria
Resource
We conducted a full peatland assessment using the new criteria on a restored well pad near Peace River, Alberta. In 2012, mineral overburden was removed along with geo-textile and the buried peat was...
Assessing Spatial Factors Affecting Predation Risk to Boreal Caribou Calves: Implications for Management
