Combining temporal 3-D remote sensing data with spatial rockfall simulations for improved understanding of hazardous slopes within rail corridors
Download2018-01-01
van Veen, Megan, Hutchinson, D. Jean, Bonneau, David A., Sala, Zac, Ondercin, Matthew, Lato, Matt
Remote sensing techniques can be used to gain a more detailed understanding of hazardous rock slopes along railway corridors that would otherwise be inaccessible. Multiple datasets can be used to identify changes over time, creating an inventory of events to produce magnitude–frequency...

Evaluating remote sensing covariates for understanding habitat selection by boreal forest birds
DownloadFall 2023
Boreal forests are changing in response to climate change and shifts in disturbance regimes. Statistical models that link distribution, abundance, and community structure to select environmental variables have been used to understand how birds respond to these changes. However, model performance...

Genetic adaptation of aspen populations to spring risk environments: a novel remote sensing approach
DownloadSpring 2010
This study investigates geographic patterns of genetic variation in aspen spring phenology to understanding how tree population adapts to climatically risk environments. These finding suggest rules to guide seed transfer between regions. I use a classical common garden experiment to reveal...

Spring 2022
In the boreal biome of North America, large wildfires usually leave behind residual patches of unburned vegetation, termed refugia, which can strongly affect post-fire ecosystem processes. While topographic complexity is a major driver of fire refugia in mountainous terrain, refugia and fire...

Macciotta, Renato, Hendry, Michael T.
Transportation infrastructure in mountainous terrain and through river valleys is exposed to a variety of landslide phenomena. This is particularly the case for highway and railway corridors in Western Canada that connect towns and industries through prairie valleys and the Canadian cordillera....

Soltanieh, Amir, Macciotta, Renato
The Thompson River valley hosts 14 landslides along a 10 km section, which threaten the two major railroads connecting the Port of Vancouver and the interior provinces in Canada. The Ripley landslide is one of the active landslides in this section of the valley. Previous research at this site...

Updated Understanding of the Thompson River Valley Landslides Kinematics Using Satellite InSAR
Download2022-01-01
Soltanieh, Amir, Macciotta, Renato
The Thompson River valley is one of the most important transportation corridors in western Canada as it hosts two important railways. This valley has experienced several historical landslide events, many of them along a 10 km section south of the town of Ashcroft. Six of these landslides, showing...
