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 Distribution of Nutrients and Organic Matter in Native Mountain Grasslands and Reclaimed Coal-mined Areas in Southeastern B.C.
Resource
The study's purpose is to assess the nutrient self-sufficiency of five-year-old reclaimed areas in montane and subalpine environments. Adjacent, undisturbed native grasslands were also studied for...
The Effects of Maternal Penning on the Movement Ecology of Mountain Caribou
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 Effects of Variable Retention Harvesting on Caribou Terrestrial Forage Lichens
Resource
Northern caribou depend on terrestrial lichens as a primary source of food during winter. This paper illustrates how changes in harvesting intensity affect terrestrial lichen abundance, species...
The Spatial Patterns of Anthropogenic Disturbance in the Western Canadian Boreal Forest Following Oil and Gas Development
Resource
Resource development can have significant consequences for the distribution of vegetation cover and for species persistence. Modelling changes to anthropogenic disturbance regimes over time can...

Tree Species Mapping Around Reclaimed Oil and Gas Wells Sites Using Hyperspectral and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) Remote Sensing
Resource
Oil and gas activities in Alberta require disturbing forested lands, among other ecosystems, in order to extract resources. Due to the number of oil and gas sites requiring reclamation, monitoring can...
Trophic Consequences of Terrestrial Eutrophication for a Threatened Ungulate
Resource
Conservation actions directed at the proximate cause of caribou decline have been more successful in the near term than those directed further along the trophic chain.
"Two-Eyed Seeing": An Indigenous Framework to Transform Fisheries Research and Management
Resource
Increasingly, fisheries researchers and managers seek or are compelled to “bridge” Indigenous knowledge systems with Western scientific approaches to understanding and governing fisheries. Here, we...
Using Perceptions as Evidence to Improve Conservation and Environmental Management
Resource
The conservation community is increasingly focusing on the monitoring and evaluation of management, governance, ecological, and social considerations as part of a broader move toward adaptive...
Video - A multi-level classification for Boreal wetlands
Resource
This presentation discusses the need for a multi-level classification for boreal wetlands and accurate change detection.
Video - Alberta Water Extent Monitoring Pilot Study
Resource
This presentation discusses the Alberta water extent monitoring pilot study, with the goal to create a database that has the potential for implementation at a provincial level.
Video - Assessment of forest attributes using airborne and terrestrial LiDAR
Resource
This presentation discusses the different ways that LiDAR data can be effectively used in forestry management applications.
Video - Bathymetric LiDARs for Hydrographic Mapping
Resource
This presentation talks about Bathymetric LiDARs for Hydrographic Mapping with a focus on ALTM systems and data fusion.
Video - Ecological Resiliency
Resource
This introductory lecture at the seminar on Resiliency of Reclaimed Boreal Forest Landscapes discusses the two sides of the coin, ecosystem resilience and engineering resilience.
Video - Functional Environmental Flows: A Practical Strategy for Healthy Rivers
Resource
This presentation describes how focusing on functional flows versus typical water conservation management could improve aquatic in-stream ecosystems while meeting current water allocations.
Video - LiDAR & Water Resources Applications
Resource
Dr. Chris Hopkinson introduces a series of seven videos that covers the topic of LiDAR and its application in water resources planning and monitoring.
Video - LiDAR and LAS Tools
Resource
This presentation provides insight and understanding to how LiDAR data is used to produce digital elevation models and vegetation maps.
