UAV Remote Sensing can Reveal the Effects of Low Impact Seismic Lines on Methane (CH4) Release in a Forested Boreal Bog
Resource
Peatlands are globally significant stores of soil carbon, where local methane (CH 4 ) emissions are strongly linked to water table position and microtopography. Historically, these factors have been...
Use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for Monitoring Recovery of Forest Vegetation on Petroleum Well Sites
Resource
Good statistical agreement between key structural vegetation parameters, such as mean and maximum vegetation height, with PPC metrics successfully predicting most height and tree-diameter metrics.
Variability in Flow and Tracer-based Performance Metric Sensitivities Reveal RFegional Differences in Dominant Hydrological Processes Across the Athabasca River Basin
Resource
This study evaluates whether combined use of streamflow and isotope tracer performance metrics can improve representation of simulated streamflow-generating processes within a large river basin, the...
Video - Caribou and Development in West-Central AB/BC
Resource
Marco Musiani talks about research on caribou and development in west-central Alberta and British Columbia. An Associate Professor for the University of Calgary, Muisiani shows and explains the...
Video - Caribou and Development in West-Central Alberta and British-Columbia
Resource
Marco Musiani talks about research on caribou and development in west-central Alberta and British Columbia.
Video - Multi-Temporal Remote Sensing: A New Perspective on the Dynamic Albertan Landscape
Resource
The presentation describes how multi-temporal remote sensing offers a better understanding of landscape changes over time in comparison to the more traditional two-date, before and after comparison.
Video - Soil Moisture Estimation Using Polarmetric Radarsat-2 Data
Resource
This presentation discusses soil moisture estimation using polarimetric Radarsat-2 data and remote sensing as a fast, cost-effective method for mapping wide areas.
Webinar - Diving Into the Genome: The Secret Life of Alberta's Parasitic Jellyfish
Resource
There is a microscopic menace harming Alberta's fish. In fact, these parasites, called myxozoans, threaten fish and aquaculture globally. In our talk, you will discover the challenges posed by...
Webinar - No Longer just the Swamp of Sadness: An Insight into the Value of Forested Ecosystems (swamps) as Natural Climate Solutions
Resource
Presented by Dr Scott J Davidson, Lecturer in Ecosystem Resilience, University of Plymouth Swamps are a highly significant wetland type in North America both in terms of areal extent and their role in...
Webinar - The Zoonotic Potential of Chronic Wasting Disease
Resource
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal and transmissible neurodegenerative disease that affects wild and farmed cervids. It is spreading across North America at increasing rates, with cases detected...
Webinar - Using Isotopes to Study Climate Related Changes to our Water Resources
Resource
The impacts of climate change can be clearly seen in our water resources. In Alberta, water quality is changing, and water supply is more variable and increasingly uncertain due to extreme weather...

Wildfire and Degradation Accelerate Northern Peatland Carbon Release
Resource
The northern peatland carbon sink plays a vital role in climate regulation; however, the future of the carbon sink is uncertain, in part, due to the changing interactions of peatlands and wildfire...
Working with Northern Communities to Build Collaborative Research Partnerships: Perspectives From Early Career Researchers
Resource
Partnerships between northern communities and academics have existed for decades, yet new attitudes regarding northern scholarship have shifted the research paradigm towards one that is more...
