Fall 2021
Wildfire management agencies are at a tipping point as wildfire disasters, particularly in western Canada increase in frequency. Climate change impacts, and competing values and assets on the landscape are challenging suppression effectiveness. Semi-structured interviews with Canadian wildfire...

Stockability, relative density and productivity: investigating their link in boreal mixedwoods
DownloadSpring 2014
I explore and evaluate the use of indicators of density and stand composition in analyzing key aspects of the dynamics of boreal stands comprised primarily by trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) and white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss. in western Canada. First, using repeated...

Stream Crossings in the Western Boreal Forest: Assessing Impacts and Prioritizing Restoration for Native Freshwater Fishes
DownloadFall 2015
Growing anthropogenic development in response to rising demands for natural resources is a major concern for freshwater fish, particularly in resource rich regions such as Canada’s boreal forest. Expanding networks of industrial resource roads has led to the installation of hundreds of thousands...

Streamflow is changing in rivers across Alberta: assessing regional variation in changing hydrologic indices
DownloadFall 2020
The flow regime is a crucial factor in the well-being of aquatic and riparian ecosystems. Many components of those ecosystems, ranging for nutrient transport to morphology, are impacted by various hydrologic parameters. The parameters help define and quantify five important hydrologic regime...

Structure, composition and trophic ecology of forest floor predatory mites (Mesostigmata) from the boreal mixedwood forest of northwestern Alberta
DownloadSpring 2013
The forest floor, including the L, F and H horizons is the habitat for numerous soil fauna whose ecological relationships affect various soil processes. The forest floor is closely associated with stand development in boreal forests, creating distinct biochemical and physical characteristics...

Spring 2024
Fire weather indices are used by fire management agencies around the world to estimate potential wildfire danger. This allows for resources to be allocated effectively and to warn communities of potential wildfire hazards. Currently, monitoring and short-term forecasting of fire weather depends...
