A Map of Global Peatland Extent Created Using Machine Learning (Peat-ML)
Resource
Peatlands play an integral role in the global carbon and hydrologic cycles and make up 3% of the Earth’s total landscape. Despite their importance, there is a lack of accurate information on the...
Canadian Wetland Inventory using Google Earth Engine: The First Map and Preliminary Results

Dietary Reconstruction and Evidence of Prey Shifting in Pleistocene and Recent Gray Wolves (Canis lupus) From Yukon Territory
Resource
We investigate if and how diets of gray wolves from the Yukon have changed from the Pleistocene to the recent Holocene using dental microwear analysis of carnassial teeth and stable isotope analyses
Effects of Narrow Linear Disturbances on Light and Wind Patterns in Fragmented Boreal Forests in Northeastern Alberta
