Biological soil crusts in Alberta’s grasslands: increasing our knowledge of their taxonomy, diversity, and sensitivity to drought and defoliation
DownloadFall 2022
Biological soil crusts (BSCs) play a central role in the biodiversity, health, resilience, and function of drylands like Alberta’s grasslands. In Alberta, much of the biocrust cover consists of lichens, and many crusts are dominated by species of Cladonia. Despite the drought-resistant nature of...

Boxed-in: Comparing Algorithms for Box-flight Mass-Balance Greenhouse Gas Flux Measurements from Mineable and In Situ Oil Sands Developments
DownloadSpring 2022
To combat global warming, Canada has committed to reducing greenhouse gases (GHGs) 40-45% below 2005 emission levels by 2025. Monitoring emissions and deriving accurate inventories are essential to reaching these goals. GHGs can be measured at a small scale, often using ground measurements which...

Clinical, Laboratory and Treatment Outcome Characteristics of Foreign-Born Pulmonary Tuberculosis Patients in Alberta by Immigration Status, 2004-2013
DownloadFall 2017
Canada is a low TB incidence country, with a rate of 4.4 per 100,000 in 2014. Despite this low incidence rate, TB affects certain groups disproportionately, most notably foreign-born persons from high incidence countries and Indigenous peoples. This study compares clinical, laboratory, and...

DownloadFall 2012
In this study I examined ant biodiversity in Alberta. Over a two-year period, 41,791 ants were captured in pitfall traps on five sand hills in central Alberta and one adjacent aspen parkland community. Using additional collections, I produced a key to the 92 species of ants known from Alberta,...
