Critical Remote Sensing Targets for Boreal Wetlands Research and Management
Resource
This presentation discusses remote sensing to assess groundwater, microtopogpraphy and above-ground biomass, as well as wetland management. Presented at the NAIT 7th Seminar on Linear Disturbance...
Defining Disturbance and Recovery: The Influence of Landscape Specific Ecological Responses to Oil and Gas Linear Disturbances in North Yukon
Resource
Across northern Canada evidence of oil and gas seismic exploration remains from the 1950's to current day. While many of these linear features are still visible, others can no longer be seen. Research...
Defining Parasite Biodiversity at High Latitudes of North America: New Host and Geographic Records for Onchocerca Cervipedis (Nematoda: Onchocercidae) in Moose and Caribou
Resource
Onchocerca cervipedis is a filarioid nematode of cervids reported from Central America to boreal regions of North America. It is found primarily in subcutaneous tissues of the legs, and is more...
Design and Performance Enhancement of Mine Drainage Settling Ponds in Alberta

There has been increasing concern in recent years regarding the environmental impact of sediment laden runoffs discharged from land disturbing activities in Alberta. Settling ponds represent the most...
Design of an Oil Waste Land Treatment Facility for the Cold Lake Production Project
Resource
Esso Resources Canada Ltd (Esso) operates an oil sands production project at Cold Lake, Alberta that produces approximately 14,000 m3/day of bitumen for the world market. On December 8, 1988 a failure...
Detection of Coniferous Seedlings in UAV Imagery
Resource
Rapid assessment of forest regeneration using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is likely to decrease the cost of establishment surveys in a variety of resource industries. This research tests the...
Developing Allometric Equations for Estimating Shrub Biomass in a Boreal Fen
Resource
This study develops allometric equations for three dominant genera found in boreal fens: Alnus spp. (alder), Salix spp. (willow) and Betula pumila (bog birch).
Development and Application of Soil Quality Criteria for Alberta's Resource Extraction Industries

Soil quality criteria for Alberta's resource extraction industries were prepared by the Soil Quality Criteria Subcommittee of the Alberta Soils Advisory Committee. The document produced was intended...
Development of Soil Quality Criteria for Contaminated Site Remediation
Resource
There can be little argument that contaminants are now a ubiquitous presence in our environment. Though large-scale efforts to deal with contaminant issues have traditionally focused on water and air...
Disposal of Drilling Wastes in the Mountains

Do Highway Rights-of-way Have to be Dull?
Resource
Highway rights-of-way in Alberta, and elsewhere, are dull because they consist of limited, non-native species mixes that are frequently mowed. These rights-of-way are therefore not much more exciting...
