The PTAC Remediation Reclamation Research Committee (RRRC) has provided a central gathering place for hundreds of research and technology providers, oil and gas producers, academia, government...
A Hydrogeological Landscape Framework to Identify Peatland Wildfire Smouldering Hot Sports
Resource
Northern peatlands are important global carbon stores, but there is concern that these boreal peat reserves are at risk due to increased fire frequency and severity as predicted by climate change...
A Hydrogeological Landscape Framework to Identify Peatland Wildfire Smouldering Hot Spots
Resource
This study used a combination of field measurements and modelling to assess the vulnerability of peat to smouldering in the Utikuma Region Study Area, Alberta, Canada.
A New Lake Classification Scheme for the Peace-Athabasca Delta (Canada) Characterizes Hydrological Processes that Cause Lake-level Variation
Resource
Recent drawdown of the delta’s abundant shallow lakes and rivers has deteriorated vital habitat for wildlife and impaired navigation routes. Here, we report continuous measurements at ~50 lakes during...
A New Method to Map Groundwater Table in Peatlands Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Resource
Groundwater level (GWL) and depth to water (DTW) are related metrics aimed at characterizing groundwater-table positions in peatlands, and two of the most common variables collected by researchers...
A Regional-Scale Index for Assessing the Exposure of Drinking-Water Sources to Wildfires
Resource
Recent human-interface wildfires around the world have raised concerns regarding the reliability of freshwater supply flowing from severely burned watersheds. Degraded source water quality can often...
A Synthesis of Three Decades of Eco-Hydrological Research at Scotty Creek, NWT, Canada
Resource
Scotty Creek, Northwest Territories (NWT), Canada, has been the focus of eco-hydrological research for nearly three decades. Over this period, field and modelling studies have generated new insights...
A Temporal Snapshot of Ecosystem Functionality During the Initial Stages of Reclamation of an Upland-fen Complex
Resource
AOSR pre-disturbance landscape consists of a mosaic of upland-peatland complexes, dominated by fens, which have become the focus of recent mandatory reclamation efforts. Quantifiable metrics for...
A Two-Roads Approach to Co-Reclamation: Centring Indigenous Voices and Leadership in Canada’s Energy Transition
Resource
This is a chapter in a story that is still unfolding. It is a story about a First Nation and academic co-researchers who learned from one another and, in doing so, co-created intercultural planning...
Access Roads Impact Enzyme Activities in Boreal Forested Peatlands
Resource
This study investigated the impacts of resource access roads on soil enzyme activities in contrasting forested boreal peatlands (bog and fen).
Advances in Wetland Hydrology: The Canadian Contribution Over 75 Years
Resource
Wetlands are an integral part of the Canadian landscape, providing crucial ecohydrological services with globally significant benefits. Over the past 75 years, Canadian scientists have emerged as...
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
Algar Habitat Project: Improving Fen Restoration Outcomes
Resource
Monitoring has been ongoing in Algar since 2011. Monitoring data along with supporting field observations information suggest that treatments may not be successfully placing linear disturbance within...
Analysis and Improvement of Linear Features to Increase Caribou Functional Habitat in West-central and North-western Alberta
Resource
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...
Analyzing the Impacts of Road Construction on the Development of a Poor Fen in Northeastern Alberta, Canada
Resource
Linear disturbances such as powerline rights of way, seismic lines and roads are common in areas of intensive resource development. Roads that bisect wetlands can alter their hydrologic connectivity...
