Management-mediated Predation Rate in the Caribou–Moose–Wolf System: Spatial Configuration of Logging Activities Matters
Resource
Landscape complexity can determine the population dynamics of interacting predators and prey. Yet, management plans are commonly developed from aspatial predictive models. This oversight may result in...
Monitoring Barren-Ground Caribou Body Condition with Denésǫłıné Traditional Knowledge
Resource
Information from aboriginal elders and hunters on changes in barren-ground caribou ( Rangifer tarandus) body condition can assist current management systems. Interviews with Denésǫłiné elders and...
Organic Amendment Effects on Productivity of Wellsites Reclaimed with Suboptimal Topsoil Replacement Depth in Northeasten Alberta
Resource
Reclamation and revegetation of boreal sites disturbed by oil exploration depend on the availability of topsoil salvaged on-site during the disturbance. For successful reclamation, current regulations...
Overview by the Aboriginal Talking Circle Coordinating Team Aboriginal Talking Circle: Aboriginal Perspectives on Caribou Conservation
Resource
The 13th North American Caribou Workshop in 2010 was the venue for a remarkable forum of Aboriginal knowledge holders in which experiences and ideas about caribou research and stewardship were shared...
Performance of Road Embankments on Seasonally-Frozen Peat Foundations With and Without Corduroy Bases
Resource
Two test sections along a newly constructed road embankment on peat foundations were instrumented to investigate their performance and to develop more economical means of construction method.
Recent Climate Change has Driven Divergent Hydrological Shifts in High-latitude Peatlands
Resource
High-latitude peatlands are changing rapidly in response to climate change, including permafrost thaw. Here, we reconstruct hydrological conditions since the seventeenth century using testate amoeba...
Rediscovery of Traditional Ecological Knowledge as Adaptive Management
Resource
Indigenous groups offer alternative knowledge and perspectives based on their own locally developed practices of resource use. We surveyed the international literature to focus on the role of...
Spatial and Temporal Variation in Forest Transpiration Across a Forested Boreal Peatland Complex
Resource
Transpiration is a globally important component of evapotranspiration. Careful upscaling of transpiration from point measurements is thus crucial for quantifying water and energy fluxes. In spatially...
The Conservation of Caribou: Matters of Space, Time, and Scale
Resource
This is a chapter from the book, In Our Backyard. It explores the essentials of caribou ecology and conservation. Using Keeyask as a platform, the author focuses on the challenges and opportunities of...
The Essential Carbon Service Provided by Northern Peatlands
Resource
Northern peatlands have cooled the global climate by accumulating large quantities of soil carbon (C) over thousands of years. Maintaining the C sink function of these peatlands and their immense long...

Project
Organization:
Project Description: The objectives of this study were to define specifics and general character of the traditional land-use activities in the Waterhen Resource Area and to contrast traditional land...
The Traditional Land-use of the Waterhen First Nation vis-a-vis a Forest Management Plan
Resource

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 - Greening Alberta's Energy Sector: Lessons learned from the Rainbow pipeline spill of 2011
Resource
Jae Ogilvie presents on his group's research related to the use of Wet Areas Mapping data to predict the flow of contaminants from the Rainbow pipeline spill in northern Alberta in 2011.
Weaving Indigenous and Sustainability Sciences to Diversify Our Methods
Resource
Indigenous and sustainability sciences have much to offer one another regarding the identification of techniques and methods for sustaining resilient landscapes. Based upon the literature, and our...
