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...
Characterization of Organic Constituents in Waters and Wastewaters of the Athabasca Oil Sands Mining Area
Resource
Organic constituents of wastewaters discharged from the GCOS plant and Syncrude Canada Ltd. lease No. 17 were characterized and compared to those occurring naturally in the Athabasca River
Characterization of Stored Peat in the Alberta Oil Sands Area
Resource
Physical, chemical, and microbiological properties of stored materials were compared with those of fibric moss peat, mesic moss peat, and mesic fen peat samples from undisturbed sites
Circulation of Water and Sediment in the Athabasca Delta Area
Resource
Describe how water and sediment from the Athabasca River are distributed through the delta system and how they circulate and mix in Lake Athabasca and flow through to the Slave River (re contaminants)
Climate Change is the Primary Driver of White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) Range Expansion at the Northern Extent of its Range; Land Use is Secondary
Resource
Quantifying the relative influence of multiple mechanisms driving recent range expansion of non-native species is essential for predicting future changes and for informing adaptation and management...
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...
Climatological Analysis of Recent Data from the Athabasca Oil Sands Area
Resource
Climatological analysis of recent data from the MAPS network of automatic meteorological data acquisition, forestry lookout stations, minisondes, pack surveys, and the Fort McMurray station
Cluster Planting: Early Enhancement of Structural Diversity in a Reclaimed Boreal Forest
Resource
Abstract: Planting trees is an important step in re-establishing functioning forest ecosystems after industrial land disturbances. Conventional planting practices create forests with evenly spaced...
Coarse Woody Debris Increases Microbial Functional Diversity in Reclaimed Soils
Resource
Forest floor mineral soil mix had significantly greater soil microbial functional diversity than peat mineral soil mix. CWD increased microbial biomass and microbial functional diversity in both soil
Comparison of Pre-fire and Post-fire Space Use Reveals Varied Responses by Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in the Boreal Shield
Resource
Abstract By regulating successional dynamics in Canada’s boreal forest, fires can affect the distribution of the Threatened woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou (Gmelin, 1788)). Caribou tend...
Comparison of Sampling Techniques to Monitor Stream Amphibian Communities in Forested Regions of Alberta
Resource
Objective was to compare the effectiveness of four commonly used sampling techniques (pitfall traps, funnel traps, visual searches and call surveys) to detect stream amphibian communities.
Comparison of Site Preparation and Revegetation Strategies within a Sphagnum-Dominated Peatland Following Removal of an Oil Well Pad

Concentrations and Yields of Mercury, Methylmercury, and Dissolved Organic Carbon From Contrasting Catchments in the Discontinuous Permafrost Region, Western Canada
Resource
Boreal rivers deliver dissolved organic carbon (DOC), mercury (Hg), and its neurotoxic form, methylmercury (MeHg), from contributing landscapes to downstream waters. In northern regions, thawing...
Conservation of Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in Canada: An Uncertain Future
Resource
Caribou (Rangifer tarandus (L., 1758)) play a central role in the ecology and culture of much of Canada, where they were once the most abundant cervid. Most populations are currently declining, and...
Conservation of Future Boreal Forest Bird Communities Considering Lags in Vegetation Response to Climate Change: A Modified Refugia Approach
Resource
For some boreal songbirds, limits to forest growth and succession may result in dramatic reductions in suitable habitat over the next century.
