Caribou Use of Habitat Near Energy Development in Arctic Alaska
Resource
Increasing demands for energy have generated interest in expanding oil and gas production on the North Slope of Alaska, USA, raising questions about the resilience of barren-ground caribou ( Rangifer...
Decreased Carbon Accumulation Feedback Driven by Climate‐Induced Drying of Two Southern Boreal Bogs over Recent Centuries

Groundwater: Making the Invisible, Visible - WPACs World Water Day 2022
Event
Event Date and Time
March 22nd, 2022 at 1:00pm MST to March 22nd, 2022 at 3:00pm MST
Organization
The Watershed Planning and Advisory Councils (WPACs) of Alberta work towards the protection of water resources in our province. Collaboratively we are presenting this online World Water Day event. The...
Increasing Contributions of Peatlands to Boreal Evapotranspiration in a Warming Climate
Resource
The response of evapotranspiration (ET) to warming is of critical importance to the water and carbon cycle of the boreal biome, a mosaic of land cover types dominated by forests and peatlands. The...

Survival and Reproduction in Arctic Caribou are Associated with Summer Forage and Insect Harassment
Resource
Investigators have speculated that the climate-driven “greening of the Arctic” may benefit barren-ground caribou populations, but paradoxically many populations have declined in recent years. This...
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 Boreal-Arctic Wetland and Lake Dataset
Resource
Here we present the Boreal–Arctic Wetland and Lake Dataset (BAWLD), a land cover dataset based on an expert assessment, extrapolated using random forest modelling from available spatial datasets of...
Variation in Photosynthetic Properties Among Bog Plants
Resource
Plant functional types (PFTs) are used to make generalizations in modeling how plants impact ecosystem functioning. In boreal bogs the number of plant species is small, but several PFTs are...
Video - Alberta Watershed Toolkit
Resource
This presentation describes the Alberta Watershed Toolkit as a watershed planning community space to share success stories and tools.
Video - Alberta Wetland Policy
Resource
This presentation discusses the state of wetland and peatland conservation in Alberta.
Video - Alberta's Upstream Petroleum Industry's Spill Preparedness: The Co-op Approach
Resource
This presentation describes how the Alberta oil and gas industry decided to go with a oil/gas spill cooperative rather than having individual company spill response units.
Video - Assessing agricultural practices to improve watershed management in Alberta
Resource
This presentation summarizes a 6 year project to evaluate the environmental and economic performance of agricultural BMPs to improve water quality on small watercourses in Alberta.
