Reclamation and Industry in Alberta Today and Tomorrow (1990s)
Resource
This paper provides the author's perspective on a series of questions posed by the symposium's Organizing Committee. The paper does not represent an endorsed industry wide collective response...
Soil Compaction: A Literature Review
Resource
Concerns about soil compaction on pipeline rights-of-way have increased with the introduction of heavier, more powerful construction equipment
Spatial Differences in Genetic Diversity and Northward Migration Suggest Genetic Erosion Along the Boreal Caribou Southern Range Limit and Continued Range Retraction
Resource
Study assesses changes in genetic diversity and connectivity in areas of high and low anthropogenic activity, across threatened boreal caribou populations in Ontario and Manitoba.
Spatial Familial Networks to Infer Demographic Structure of Wild Populations
Resource
Abstract In social species, reproductive success and rates of dispersal vary among individuals resulting in spatially structured populations. Network analyses of familial relationships may provide...
The Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) Genome
Resource
Paper outlines the sequencing of the genome from a male boreal caribou from Manitoba, Canada.
The Long-term Impact of Pipeline Construction on Solonetzic Mixed Prairie
Resource
Study concentrated on the well-documented 1981 right-of-way, and compared it to the oldest trench, installed in 1957, and to the undisturbed adjacent mixed prairie
The Role of Introgression and Ecotypic Parallelism in Delineating Intraspecific Conservation Units
Resource
Abstract: Parallel evolution can occur through selection on novel mutations, standing genetic variation or adaptive introgression. Uncovering parallelism and introgressed populations can complicate...
The "Winter" Topsoil Stripper
Resource
NOVA, AN ALBERTA CORPORATION embarked on a research and development project approximately one and one-half years ago to develop a machine capable of stripping frozen topsoil . The result was a...

Topsoil Handling During Pipeline Construction in Potentially Arable Forested Luvisols of Northwest Alberta
Resource
Objective was to evaluate several pipeline topsoil stripping depths to determine whether they result in land capability equivalent to that of adjacent forested lands broken for cultivation
Topsoil Stripping in Potentially Arable Forested Luvisols: A Literature Review
Resource
Topsoil stripping of forested soils and its subsequent replacement would result in horizon characteristics similar to those of the plough depth resulting from farming practices
Twelve Mile Coulee Pipeline Topsoil Handling Soil Research Project – 1995 Annual Report
Resource
Objectives of the Twelve Mile Coulee Soil Research Project are to evaluate the impact of pipeline construction on Solonetzic soil quality and salt movement in the Brown soil zone
Webinar - New Development in Genomics Methods to Inform on Caribou Population Demography
Resource
Information on the size, distribution and trend of wildlife populations are key parameters when assessing the status of wildlife species. Quantifying the impacts of natural and anthropogenic...
Webinar: Solving the Streamlining Paradox: The Future of Environmental Assessment
Event
Event Date and Time
October 25th, 2023 at 12:30pm MST to October 25th, 2023 at 1:30pm MST
Organization
This seminar will examine this challenge, review options both in process and practice, and offer pragmatic and balanced solutions to the streamlining paradox of reducing time but also gaining trust.
“We’re Made Criminals Just to Eat off the Land”: Colonial Wildlife Management and Repercussions on Inuit Well-Being
Resource
This study characterizes Inuit-caribou relationships; explores Inuit perspectives on how caribou have been managed; and identifies opportunities for sustaining the Mealy Mountain Caribou. Abstract...
Wetland Offsetting: Emergent Protocols and Techniques for Prioritizing Site-specific Wetland Services
Resource
Wetland loss in southern Ontario, escalated by development, is putting pressure on planners as they struggle to meet development needs while maintaining a balance with regional natural heritage...
Whole Genome Sequences from Non-invasively Collected Caribou Faecal Samples
Resource
This study presents a method to extract DNA from the mucosal layer of caribou faecal samples to re-sequence high coverage whole genomes. Quality metrics were similar between caribou faecal and tissue
