Erosion Control Projects on the Alberta Oil Sands Pipeline
Resource
The Alberta Oil Sands Pipeline System (AOSPL) is a 435 km long, 559 mm diameter pipeline that transports the entire production of synthetic crude oil from the Syncrude Canada Inc. plant to the...
Erosion Monitoring on Mountain Foothills Waste Dumps
Resource
The erosion study was designed to examine the effects of the regraded configuration (i.e. slope angle, slope length), waste material characteristics, age since reclamation, amount of precipitation...
Establishment of Native Boreal Plant Species on Reclaimed Oil Sands Mining Disturbances
Resource
Current revegetation strategies for disturbed oil sands sites include values such as biodiversity and sustainability. As a result, a wide range of species are sought for inclusion in revegetation...
Establishment of Trees and Shrubs on Mined Land in the Grande Cache Area
Resource
The Terrain Sciences Department of the Alberta Research Council has been conducting a reclamation research program at the operations of Smoky River Coal Limited in the Grande Cache area since 1972...
Estimating Lichen Biomass in Forests and Peatlands of Northwestern Canada in a Changing Climate
Resource
Climate warming in the North could lead to lichen decline within critical woodland caribou habitat. We used repeat measurements of sixty-nine plots over ten years (2007–2008 and 2017–2018) to assess...
Estimating the Size of the Reclamation and Restoration Economy and Supply Chain in Alberta
Resource
Based on 115 respondents, the survey highlights that the R&R economy in Alberta is robust, with 2 056 employees working at least part-time and 1 488 fulltime equivalent positions.
Estimating Tree Species Composition From Airborne Laser Scanning Data Using Point-based Deep Learning Models
Resource
Airborne laser scanning (ALS) data has been widely used for total aboveground tree biomass (AGB) modelling, however, there is less research focusing on estimating specific tree biomass components...
Étude des menaces et des risques liés aux espèces exotiques envahissantes forestières
Resource
Invasions by alien organisms into new habitats pose one of the most significant global threats to ecosystem biodiversity and serious threats to economies around the globe. Canada, with its vast...
Evaluation of Alternative Procedures and Equipment for Conserving Topsoil During Pipeline Construction in Western Canada
Resource
Topsoil conservation has become standard practice on pipeline construction in western Canada over the last 30 years. Pipeline contractors have used a variety of procedures and equipment with different...
Evaluation of Threshold Freezing Conditions for Winter Road Construction over Discontinuous Permafrost Peatlands, Subarctic 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...
Examination of Two New Technologies to Assess the Diet of Woodland Caribou: Video Recorders Attached to Collars and DNA Barcoding

Examining Management Scenarios to Mitigate Wildfire Hazard to Caribou
Resource
We undertook a wildfire risk assessment across the Cold Lake caribou range where we used the Burn-P3 model to determine: a) burn probability; b) wildfire risk to restored seismic line areas; and c) the effectiveness of mitigation measures. The burn probability of the landscape was highly heterogeneous, and recent large burns and some waterbodies provided “shields” that reduced burn probability on their leeward sides.
Expected Increased Risks of Wildfires in Canadian Wildland-Human Interface Areas
Resource
With climate change, current research predicts an increase in forest fires in the wildland-human interface or WHI; several inhabited areas will be more at risk in the years to come. Despite this...
Exploring Ecological Change in Western and Northern Canada
Resource
A video exploring the methods that researchers use to access ecological changes in Western Canada (including wildfires). A PDF of the PowerPoint can be found here.
Exploring Opportunities for Mitigating the Ecological Impacts of Current and Future Mountain Pine Beetle Outbreaks Through Improved Planning: A Focus on Northeastern British Columbia
Resource
The primary response to the present mountain pine beetle (MPB) epidemic has focused on salvaging beetle-killed wood while it remains economically viable, and developing methods for reducing the spread...
Exploring the Tradeoffs Among Forest Planning, Roads and Wildlife Corridors: A New Approach
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...
Extending the National Burned Area Composite Time Series of Wildfires in Canada
Resource
This study created a 35-year time series of wildfire burned areas in Canada from 1986 to 2020, using data from satellite imagery and aerial surveys. Wildfires are a major natural disturbance in Canada...
Factors Affecting Alpine Grass Seed Germination in Relation to Their Potential use in Reclamation
Resource
Poa alpina L. seeds germinated best under darkness and 16/8 h cycles of 22/l5°C temperature while Agropyron latiglume L. seeds needed a 29/22°C regime and darkness for best germination. Rapid...
