Event
Event Date and Time
February 2nd, 2022 at 12:00am to February 2nd, 2022 at 11:59pm
Organization
Each year since 2013, the University of Waterloo's Ecohydrology research group has hosted a World Wetlands Day event. You can read about past events on their website at https://uwaterloo.ca...
A Hydrogeological Landscape Framework to Identify Peatland Wildfire Smouldering Hot Sports
Resource
Northern peatlands are important global carbon stores, but there is concern that these boreal peat reserves are at risk due to increased fire frequency and severity as predicted by climate change...
A Hydrogeological Landscape Framework to Identify Peatland Wildfire Smouldering Hot Spots
Resource
This study used a combination of field measurements and modelling to assess the vulnerability of peat to smouldering in the Utikuma Region Study Area, Alberta, Canada.
A New Lake Classification Scheme for the Peace-Athabasca Delta (Canada) Characterizes Hydrological Processes that Cause Lake-level Variation
Resource
Recent drawdown of the delta’s abundant shallow lakes and rivers has deteriorated vital habitat for wildlife and impaired navigation routes. Here, we report continuous measurements at ~50 lakes during...
A New Method to Map Groundwater Table in Peatlands Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Resource
Groundwater level (GWL) and depth to water (DTW) are related metrics aimed at characterizing groundwater-table positions in peatlands, and two of the most common variables collected by researchers...
A Regional-Scale Index for Assessing the Exposure of Drinking-Water Sources to Wildfires
Resource
Recent human-interface wildfires around the world have raised concerns regarding the reliability of freshwater supply flowing from severely burned watersheds. Degraded source water quality can often...
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...
A Temporal Snapshot of Ecosystem Functionality During the Initial Stages of Reclamation of an Upland-fen Complex
Resource
AOSR pre-disturbance landscape consists of a mosaic of upland-peatland complexes, dominated by fens, which have become the focus of recent mandatory reclamation efforts. Quantifiable metrics for...
A Two-Roads Approach to Co-Reclamation: Centring Indigenous Voices and Leadership in Canada’s Energy Transition
Resource
This is a chapter in a story that is still unfolding. It is a story about a First Nation and academic co-researchers who learned from one another and, in doing so, co-created intercultural planning...
Access Roads Impact Enzyme Activities in Boreal Forested Peatlands
Resource
This study investigated the impacts of resource access roads on soil enzyme activities in contrasting forested boreal peatlands (bog and fen).
Advances in Wetland Hydrology: The Canadian Contribution Over 75 Years
Resource
Wetlands are an integral part of the Canadian landscape, providing crucial ecohydrological services with globally significant benefits. Over the past 75 years, Canadian scientists have emerged as...
Analyzing the Impacts of Road Construction on the Development of a Poor Fen in Northeastern Alberta, Canada
Resource
Linear disturbances such as powerline rights of way, seismic lines and roads are common in areas of intensive resource development. Roads that bisect wetlands can alter their hydrologic connectivity...
Anne Innis Dagg Lecture: A Personal Perspective on the Promises and Perils of the Single-Species Approach for Addressing Biodiversity Loss
Event
Event Date and Time
March 7th, 2024 at 6:30pm EST to March 7th, 2024 at 9:00pm EST
Waterloo, ON
Organization
Attendance in person or via Zoom Celebrating the remarkable career of Anne Innis Dagg, who performed ground-breaking work on giraffe biology, behaviour and conservation despite the systemic barriers...
Application of Artificial Substrate Samplers to Assess Enrichment of Metals of Concern by River Floodwaters to Lakes Across the Peace-Athabasca Delta
Resource
Potential for downstream delivery of contaminants via Athabasca River floodwaters to lakes of the PAD has raised local to international concern. Here, we quantify enrichment of eight metals (Be, Cd...
Automated Precise Seeding With Drones and Artificial Intelligence: A Workflow
Resource
Aerial seeding with drones has great potential in forest restoration but faces enormous challenges to be efficient and scalable. Current protocols use blanket seeding throughout the area to be...
Beyond Fill and Spill: Hydrological Connectivity in a Sub-Arctic Bog-Fen-Tributary Complex in the Hudson Bay Lowlands, Canada
Resource
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
