News
Organization
Steven Guilbeault, federal minister of environment and climate change, announced $14.7 million in funding to fight invasive aquatic species in Alberta and B.C.'s national parks
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...
Avian Response to Wildfire Severity in a Northern Boreal Region
Resource
Research Highlights: The effects of fire on birds in the most northern parts of the boreal forest are understudied. We found distinct differences in bird communities with increasing fire severity in...
Changes in Geographical Runoff Generation in Regions Affected by Climate and Resource Development: A Case Study of the Athabasca River
Resource
The goal of this study is to enhance the understanding of the regional role of the lower Athabasca Basin areas in overall runoff delivery to the downstream Peace-Athabasca Delta. The Cold-regions...

Great Lakes Coastal Wetlands Webinar Series 2022
Event
Event Date and Time
April 4th, 2022 at 1:00pm EST to April 8th, 2022 at 2:00pm EST
Dear Great Lakes community: You're invited to attend this week-long, five-part webinar series focused on assessing and enhancing the resilience of Great Lakes coastal wetlands. The series is being...
Hydrological Functions of a Peatland in a Boreal Plains Ecosystem
Resource
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
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...
Peatland Pools are Tightly Coupled to the Contemporary Carbon Cycle
Resource
Peatlands are globally important stores of soil carbon (C) formed over millennial timescales but are at risk of destabilization by human and climate disturbance. Pools are ubiquitous features of many...
Petroleum Exploration Increases Methane Emissions from Northern Peatlands
Resource
Peatlands are globally significant sources of atmospheric methane (CH4). In the northern hemisphere, extensive geologic exploration activities have occurred to map petroleum deposits. In peatlands...
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 Role of Hummocks in Re-establishing Black Spruce Forest Following Permafrost Thaw
Resource
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
The Third Generation of Pan-Canadian Wetland Map at 10 m Resolution Using Multisource Earth Observation Data on Cloud Computing Platform
Resource
Development of the Canadian Wetland Inventory Map (CWIM) has thus far proceeded over two generations, reporting the extent and location of bog, fen, swamp, marsh, and water wetlands across the country...
Towards a Dynamic Effective Drainage Area Map for the Canadian Prairie: Sensitivity of Contributing Area to Wetland Storage Capacity
Resource
Wetlands that occupy topographic depressions are a defining feature of the Canadian Prairie. These features control hydrological connectivity as they contain high storage capacity relative to...
Webinar - The Canadian Model for Peatlands: A National Scale Peatland Carbon Accounting Model
Resource
The Canadian Model for Peatlands (CaMP) was developed to address growing international pressure on Canada to better account for greenhouse gas emissions from peatlands in national and international...
Wetland Inventory Needs Assessment
Resource
The key outcome of the workshop was the creation of a vision statement to guide leadership and action for an optimal provincial scale wetland inventory.
