A Before-After Dose-Response (BADR) Terrestrial Biological Monitoring Framework for the Oil Sands
Resource
One of the theme areas monitored within the OSM program is terrestrial biodiversity, known programmatically as Terrestrial Biological Monitoring (TBM). Biodiversity refers to the diversity of wild...
A Synthesis of Three Decades of Eco-Hydrological Research at Scotty Creek, NWT, Canada
Resource
Scotty Creek, Northwest Territories (NWT), Canada, has been the focus of eco-hydrological research for nearly three decades. Over this period, field and modelling studies have generated new insights...
Assessing the Cumulative Effects of Environmental Change on Wildlife Harvesting Areas in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region through Spatial Analysis and Community-based Research
Resource
Arctic ecosystems are undergoing rapid environmental transformations. Climate change is affecting permafrost temperature, vegetation structure, and wildlife populations, and increasing human...
Changes in Geographical Runoff Generation in Regions Affected by Climate and Resource Development: A Case Study of the Athabasca River
Resource
The goal of this study is to enhance the understanding of the regional role of the lower Athabasca Basin areas in overall runoff delivery to the downstream Peace-Athabasca Delta. The Cold-regions...
Climate-informed Forecasts Reveal Dramatic Local Habitat Shifts and Population Uncertainty for Northern Boreal Caribou
Resource
Most research on boreal populations of Woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) has been conducted in areas of high anthropogenic disturbance. However, a large portion of the species’ range...

Cumulative Effects and Boreal Woodland Caribou: How Bow-Tie Risk Analysis Addresses a Critical Issue in Canada's Forested Landscapes
Resource
Boreal caribou (Woodland Caribou, boreal population; Rangifer tarandus caribou) is a prominent mammal at the heart of a decades-long conflict between a growing resource sector and the associated risks...
Cumulative Effects of Environmental Change on Culturally Significant Ecosystems in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region
Resource
Abstract The Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR) in the western Canadian Arctic is experiencing environmental changes that affect subsistence harvesting practices and are of concern to local...
Disturbance-mediated Changes to Boreal Mammal Spatial Networks in Industrializing Landscapes
Resource
Abstract Compound effects of anthropogenic disturbances on wildlife emerge through a complex network of direct responses and species interactions. Land-use changes driven by energy and forestry...
Ecological Restoration Research in Canada: Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How?
Resource
Much has been achieved by research into ecological restoration as a nature-based solution to the destruction of ecosystems, particularly in Canada. We conducted a national-level synthesis of Canadian...
Estimates of Breeding Females & Adult Herd Size and Analyses of Demographics for the Bluenose-East Herd of Barren-Ground Caribou: 2018 Calving Ground Photographic Survey
Resource
This report describes the results of a calving ground photo survey of the Bluenose-East caribou herd conducted in June of 2018 west of Kugluktuk, Nunavut (NU). The survey objective was to estimate...
Ethics in Community Based Monitoring and Knowledge Coproduction
Resource
A two-day workshop “Ethical Space for Knowledge Coproduction: Workshop on Ethics in Community Based Monitoring” brought together 60 people from February 12-13, 2019, at the University of Alberta on...
Forest Landscape Restoration Legislation and Policy: A Canadian Perspective
Resource
Restoring degraded ecosystems is an urgent policy priority to regain ecological integrity, advance sustainable land use management, and mitigate climate change. This study examined current legislation...
Functional Response to Cumulative Effects as an Effective Tool for Wildlife Management

Greater Variation in Boreal Plant Community Composition and Community-level Traits at Local Than Regional Scale
Resource
Questions Rapid climate change in northern latitudes is expected to influence plant functional traits of the whole community (community-level traits) through species compositional changes and/or trait...
Grey Wolves (Canis lupus) Shift Selection of Anthropogenic Landscape Features Following Predator Control in the Nearctic Boreal Forest
Resource
Conserving endangered species sometimes involves killing their predators. In the case of Nearctic wolves (Canis lupus), rarely are lethal control measures examined for ancillary effects on predator...
Groundwater in Peat and Peatlands
Resource
Peatlands are wetlands with soil comprised of undecomposed remains of plants that accumulate in such a way that both responds to and controls the flux and storage of surface water and groundwater, as...
Groundwater Monitoring Near Oil Sands Development: Insights From Regional Water Quality Datasets in the Alberta Oil Sands Region (AOSR)
Resource
Groundwater quality data for the AOSR are compiled and interpreted to provide information on regional water quality to inform groundwater monitoring and land use planning. A database of 546 water...
