The Assimilative Capacity of the Athabasca River for Organic Compounds
Resource
Provide a problem analysis of the goal to determine the assimilative capacity of the Athabasca River with special regard to organics
The Biophysical Climate Mitigation Potential of Boreal Peatlands During the Growing Season
Resource
Peatlands and forests cover large areas of the boreal biome and are critical for global climate regulation. They also regulate regional climate through heat and water vapour exchange with the...
The Boreal-Arctic Wetland and Lake Dataset
Resource
Here we present the Boreal–Arctic Wetland and Lake Dataset (BAWLD), a land cover dataset based on an expert assessment, extrapolated using random forest modelling from available spatial datasets of...
The Ecology of Macrobenthic Invertebrate Communities in Hartley Creek, Northeastern Alberta
Resource
Hartley Creek, a tributary of the Muskeg River, has rich and diverse benthic fauna and is dominated numerically by Chironomidae but by Trichoptera in terms of biomass.
The Evaluation of Wastewaters from an Oil Sand Extraction Plant
Resource
Organic constituents of wastewaters from the existing Athabasca oil sands extraction plant were characterized and quantified. Twenty-one chemical parameters were determined on a total of ten samples
The Impact of a Black Spruce (Picea mariana) Plantation on Carbon Exchange in a Cutover Peatland in Western 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...
The Impact of Black Spruce (Picea mariana) Plantation on Carbon Exchange in a Cutover Peatland in Western Canada
Resource
This study determined the effect of a 7-year-old black spruce (Picea mariana) plantation on the carbon balance of a cutover peatland.
The Influence of Oil Sands Development on Trapping in the Fort McMurray Region
Resource
Registered trappers were 70 percent native; the average age was 46. The majority held other jobs concurrently, and spent less than two months on the trapline in 1975-76 (a low year on the fur cycle).
The Long Road to Protecting Critical Habitat for Species at Risk: The Case of Southern Mountain Woodland Caribou
Resource
Identifying habitat that is essential to the recovery of species at risk, known as critical habitat, is a major focus of species at risk legislation, yet there has been little research on the degree...
The Study of Human-caribou Systems in the Face of Change: Using Multiple Disciplinary Lenses
Project
Organization:
This PhD project uses multiple disciplinary lenses to understand the dynamics of the social-ecological systems that are of critical importance to northern Indigenous Peoples of the Arctic. Barren...
The Study of Human-caribou Systems in the Face of Change: Using Multiple Disciplinary Lenses
Resource
Abstract Barren-ground caribou herds are part of social-ecological systems that are of critical importance to northern Indigenous Peoples of the Arctic, contributing to nutritional, cultural, and...
The Use of a Long-acting Tranquilizer (Zuclopenthixol Acetate) and Live Video Monitoring for Successful Long-distance Transport of Caribou (Rangifer tarandus)
Resource
Long-distance transport of caribou ( Rangifer tarandus) can result in morbidities and mortalities. This case report describes the use of a long-acting tranquilizer, zuclopenthixol acetate (ZA) and...
Theses - University of Calgary
Project
Organization:
This collection is the result of a joint project between the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Libraries and Cultural Resources which provides Graduate students with the opportunity to archive their...
UAV Remote Sensing can Reveal the Effects of Low Impact Seismic Lines on Methane (CH4) Release in a Forested Boreal Bog
Resource
Peatlands are globally significant stores of soil carbon, where local methane (CH 4 ) emissions are strongly linked to water table position and microtopography. Historically, these factors have been...
Use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for Monitoring Recovery of Forest Vegetation on Petroleum Well Sites
Resource
Good statistical agreement between key structural vegetation parameters, such as mean and maximum vegetation height, with PPC metrics successfully predicting most height and tree-diameter metrics.
