Fall 2010
High-resolution regional climate simulations of the Karakoram, Himalaya have been performed for investigation into the atmospheric dynamics in this region, and their role in the Karakoram’s snowfall accumulation and glacial evolution. It has been seen through a combination of field measurements...

Studies have found that belief in anthropogenic climate change, and approval of policies to combat it, are lower in Alberta compared to the rest of Canada. This paper expands on previous research by examining how the framing of climate change by Alberta politicians changed over time, and why. I...

The interactive effects of climate, social structure, and life history on the population dynamics of hoary marmots (Marmota caligata)
DownloadFall 2010
I used 8 years of mark-recapture data to test alternative hypotheses about the relative influence of winter climate, social structure, and life history on survival, reproduction, and population dynamics of hoary marmots (Marmota caligata) in the southwest Yukon. Climate, characterized by the...

Mating systems evolve in response to factors that influence the distribution and availability of mates. In turn mating systems can influence species life histories as a result of sexual selection. Most of what is known about sexual selection in large mammals comes from long-term studies of...

The role of historical fire disturbance in the carbon dynamics of the pan-boreal region: A process-based analysis
Download2007
Apps, M., Zhuang, Q., Burnside, T.J., Shvidenko, A., Flannigan, M., McAllister, J., Wirth, C., Clein, J.S., Balshi, M.S., Kurz, W.A., Kicklighter, D.W., Harden, J., McGuire, A.D., Kasischke, E., Melillo, J.
Wildfire is a common occurrence in ecosystems of northern high latitudes, and changes in the fire regime of this region have consequences for carbon feedbacks to the climate system. To improve our understanding of how wildfire influences carbon dynamics of this region, we used the process-based...

Transportation Infrastructure Decision Flexibility in Response to Climate Change and Demand Uncertainties: The Mackenzie Valley Highway in Canada’s Northwest Territories.
Download2022-03-01
Li, Huanan, Kim, Amy M., Jin, Jianjing
Barge transport operations on the Mackenzie River, a major transportation corridor in the Northwest Territories, are impacted by multiple sources of uncertainties. In particular, the impacts of climate change on this important corridor have led to summer shipping seasons that are growing more...

Tree population responses to extreme climate events to guide reforestation under climate change
DownloadSpring 2018
As climates warm and extreme climatic events occur with more frequency and severity, maintaining forest health and productivity may involve planting seed sources from warmer, drier areas. To guide such reforestation strategies, this work analyzes the risks of both climate change and assisted...

SSHRC Awarded IDG 2017: If people learn to speak the same language, can broken communication be avoided? Both research and anecdotal evidence tell us “no”. In contrast to language differences, differences in speaking styles are far more difficult to detect. Although knowledge of different...
