Changes in Arctic sea ice and hydrology of pan-Arctic river basins under the impact of climate change
DownloadFall 2020
Under the impact of global warming, the hydro-climatology over the Arctic has changed significantly. Warming over the Arctic region is twice the global mean warming rate since the 1980s, known as Arctic Amplification, which occurs because warming induces melting of sea ice, leading to feedbacks...

Characterizing the Impacts of Seismic Exploration Lines on the Hydrology and Vadose Zone for a Watershed in West-Central Alberta
DownloadFall 2023
Seismic lines are long linear cut lines through forests created for hydrocarbon exploration and comprise over 50 % of all linear disturbances in the Canadian Boreal Forest. They are known to impact local eco-hydrological conditions and show minimal regeneration back to pre-disturbance conditions....

Climate Change Impacts on Logging Operations and Winter Roads: Costs and Mitigation Strategies
DownloadFall 2020
Many cold regions of North America rely on frozen ground for forestry operations to reduce environmental impacts, decrease costs, and access difficult areas surrounded by wet soils. Climate change may influence forestry operations by reducing winter access in those cold regions. In this thesis, I...

Climate Justice: Protecting the Rights to Life and Health of Marginalized Rural Communities in Canada and Nigeria
DownloadSpring 2020
This study examines the negative impacts of climate change on the rights to life and health of marginalized communities by using as cases studies, rural Niger-Delta and Indigenous communities in oil producing areas of Nigeria and Canada. The case studies reveal that marginalization and inequality...

Consequences of distributional asymmetry in a warming environment: Invasion of novel forests by the mountain pine beetle
Download2017
Burke, Jordan Lewis, Bohlmann, Joerg, Carroll, Allan L.
The range of many Holarctic forest insects does not comprise the entire range of their hosts, as they are often limited to more southern latitudes by the adverse effects of cold temperatures. Global climate warming has led to the increased potential for forest insects to invade novel habitats of...
