Alberta Background Soil Quality System Project: Workshop Summary
Resource
Objective is to work collaboratively with soil data users to develop the Alberta Background Soil Quality System (ABSQS) as a tool to assist industry and government in environmental management
Alberta Boreal Deer Project: Final Report
Resource
White-tailed deer expansion in the boreal forest is due to an interaction between less severe winters following climate change, and a substantial forage subsidy provided by widespread anthropogenic features
Amphibian eDNA Pilot Report
Resource
The eDNA approach detected three amphibian species across the four sites sampled in this project. Three amphibian species were identified by ARU methods at the four sites.
An Ecological Framework for Wildlife Habitat Design for Oil Sands Mine Reclamation
Resource
Wildlife communities are an important part of the biodiversity of the post-mining landscape, and are crucial elements of the traditional landscape for First Nations and other users of the land.
An Economical Penetrometer for High Strength Soils
Resource
The Centre Cone Penetrometer was developed as a low-cost instrument suitable for compaction studies. Simple in design, this hand-held penetrometer uses a helical compression spring to relate applied...
An Environmental Study of the Athabasca Tar Sands: Supplementary Working Papers
Resource

Applying and Testing a Novel Method to Estimate Animal Density from Motion-triggered Cameras
Resource
Estimating animal abundance and density are fundamental goals of many wildlife monitoring programs. Camera trapping has become an increasingly popular tool to achieve these monitoring goals due to...
Archaeological Documentation of Wood Caribou Fences Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle and Very High-resolution Satellite Imagery in the Mackenzie Mountains, Northwest Territories
Resource
Abstract Indigenous peoples of Canada’s North have long made use of boreal forest products, with wooden drift fences to direct caribou movement towards kill sites as unique examples. Caribou fences...
Arctic Tundra Caribou and Climatic Change: Questions of Temporal and Spatial Scales
Project
Organization:
This project looks at the effects of short and long term climatic change on caribou populations in the Arctic. The research concluded that Arctic ecological studies require extensive spatial and...
Arctic Tundra Caribou and Climatic Change: Questions of Temporal and Spatial Scales
Resource
Climatic changes have affected populations of caribou and reindeer ( Rangifer tarandus) at scales ranging from a single winter to tens of thousands of years, and from micro-habitats to entire...
Aspects of the Hydrologic and Sediment Regimes of the Muskeg River Basin and the Consequences of Vegetation Removal
Resource
Goals of this investigation were to describe the present hydrologic and sediment regimes and to predict the consequences of surface disturbances which precede oil sands mining using runoff plots.
Assessing the Influence of In Situ Industrial Development on Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) Movement in the Lower Athabasca Planning Region of Alberta. 2012 Final Report
Resource
With few exceptions, permeability across in situ developments was the main factor affecting caribou movement. Relationship was non-linear, suggesting a minimum threshold of permeability is needed
Assessing the Influence of Industrial Development on Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in the Lower Athabasca Planning Region of Alberta: 2011 Final Report
Resource
At current levels of industrial development, pipelines and linear features have a very small negative effect on caribou populations compared to the high levels of predation.
