On June 25, 2018, InnoTech Alberta, the Environmental Services Association of Alberta (ESSA) and Alberta Economic Development and Trade co-hosted a workshop entitled Harnessing the Innovation System...
Healing the Land by Reclaiming an Indigenous Ecology : A Journey Exploring the Application of the Indigenous Worldview to Invasion Biology and Ecology
Resource
Using western science as the only worldview when examining complex topics of applied science limits inquiry and understanding. The Indigenous worldview offers an opportunity to renew the way research...
How Linear Features Alter Predator Movement and the Functional Response
Resource
In areas of oil and gas exploration, seismic lines have been reported to alter the movement patterns of wolves (Canis lupus). We developed a mechanistic first passage time model, based on an...

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...
Identification and Characterization of Abandoned Padded Wellsites Using Remote Sensing
Resource
In 2018, the Petroleum Technology Alliance of Canada (PTAC) initiated a multi-stage project on the reclamation certification process for sites that were constructed using imported mineral soil pads in...
Impacts of Land-use Management on Ecosystem Services and Biodiversity: An Agent-based Modelling Approach
Resource
This ecosystem service modelling system allows stakeholders to evaluate the opportunities and trade-offs to make informed decisions for achieving land-use planning goals.
Importance of Species Diversity in the Revegetation of Alberta’s Northern Fescue Prairies
Resource
Restoration of grassland ecosystems is critical to the provision of ecosystem services, however, legacies of historic disturbances pose a challenge to grassland restoration. In the northern Great...
In Search of Evidence-based Management Targets: A Synthesis of the Effects of Linear Features on Woodland Caribou
Resource
Abstract Effective species management relies on evidence-based goals that address the processes influencing population demography. These goals therefore require understanding how stressors affect the...
Increasing Contributions of Peatlands to Boreal Evapotranspiration in a Warming Climate
Resource
The response of evapotranspiration (ET) to warming is of critical importance to the water and carbon cycle of the boreal biome, a mosaic of land cover types dominated by forests and peatlands. The...
Indigenizing the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation
Resource
This article identifies the gaps and linkages between the North American Model of wildlife conservation and Indigenous-led conservation efforts across Canada. Although a diversity of approaches to...
Indigenous-led Conservation: Pathways to Recovery for the Nearly Extirpated Klinse-Za Mountain Caribou
Resource
Indigenous Peoples around the northern hemisphere have long relied on caribou for subsistence, ceremonial, and community purposes. Unfortunately, despite recovery efforts by Federal and Provincial...
