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...
Close Encounters of the Burned Kind: Spatiotemporal Effects of Fire on Habitat Selection Strategies of Woodland Caribou (Rangifer Tarandus Caribou) During Winter
Resource
Forest fire is the primary natural disturbance process influencing the distribution and abundance of terrestrial lichens across ranges of woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou), including the...
Commercializing Remote Sensing Technology for Environmental Management: Moving from Data to Decision
Resource
The development of integrated geomatics and remote sensing technologies for environmental management holds promise to meet economic diversification and effective environmental management.
Community Level Physiological Profiling for Monitoring Oil Sands Impacts
Resource
Objective of the project was to better understand and describe the potential for CLPP to provide meaningful assessments of aquatic ecosystems in the oil sands region of Alberta to various stakeholders
Community-level Modelling of Boreal Forest Mammal Distribution in an Oil Sands Landscape

Comparative Prevalence and Intensity of Endoparasites in a Dynamic Boreal Ungulate Community
Resource
Surveillance of endoparasites at the host community level is rarely reported for ungulates. Yet, changes in the composition and abundance of species in ungulate assemblages, coupled with environmental...
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.
Comprehensive Report on Operational Reclamation Techniques in the Mineable Oil Sands Region
Resource
This report identifies and summarizes reclamation practices that have been used in the mineable Oil Sands region and coal mining industry over the last 40+ years.
Cumulative Effects and Boreal Woodland Caribou: How Bow-Tie Risk Analysis Addresses a Critical Issue in Canada's Forested Landscapes
Resource
Boreal caribou (Woodland Caribou, boreal population; Rangifer tarandus caribou) is a prominent mammal at the heart of a decades-long conflict between a growing resource sector and the associated risks...
Deer Are Expanding North, and That's Not Good For Caribou
News
Organization
Over the past century, white-tailed deer have greatly expanded their range in North America, explains Melanie Dickie, a doctoral student with UBC Okanagan’s Wildlife Restoration Ecology Lab. In the...
Demographic Responses of Nearly Extirpated Endangered Mountain Caribou to Recovery Actions in Central British Columbia
Resource
Recovering endangered species is a difficult and often controversial task that challenges status-quo land uses. Southern Mountain caribou are a threatened ecotype of caribou that historically ranged...
Densified Fluid Fine Tails and Oil Sands Process Water - an Extension of the 2017 Study - Final Report
Resource
A mesocosm study was undertaken to support the development of end pit lake technology. The mesocosms were exposed to OSPW (Oil Sands Process affected Water) and dFFT (densified Fluid Fine Tails).
