Critical Remote Sensing Targets for Boreal Wetlands Research and Management
Resource
This presentation discusses remote sensing to assess groundwater, microtopogpraphy and above-ground biomass, as well as wetland management. Presented at the NAIT 7th Seminar on Linear Disturbance...
Defining Parasite Biodiversity at High Latitudes of North America: New Host and Geographic Records for Onchocerca Cervipedis (Nematoda: Onchocercidae) in Moose and Caribou
Resource
Onchocerca cervipedis is a filarioid nematode of cervids reported from Central America to boreal regions of North America. It is found primarily in subcutaneous tissues of the legs, and is more...
Densified Fluid Fine Tails and Oil Sands Process Water - an Extension of the 2017 Study - Final Report
Resource
A mesocosm study was undertaken to support the development of end pit lake technology. The mesocosms were exposed to OSPW (Oil Sands Process affected Water) and dFFT (densified Fluid Fine Tails).
Densified Fluid Fine Tails and Oil Sands Process Water: A Screening Study - Final Report - Study Plan Number: MES-2017-1
Resource
This study utilized mesocosms to investigate the effects of oil sands process water (OSPW) and densified fluid fine tails (dFFT) on aquatic ecosystems to support development of end pit lake technology
Detection of Coniferous Seedlings in UAV Imagery
Resource
Rapid assessment of forest regeneration using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is likely to decrease the cost of establishment surveys in a variety of resource industries. This research tests the...
