Fall 2012
Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) systems are used for dynamic traffic data collection. These sensors are capable of collecting various truck characteristics such as weights, speed, and dimensions. Alberta Transportation (AT) installed 20 WIM sensors in six different highway sections across Alberta in 2004....

Geomorphic landform design and long-term assessment of tailings storage facilities in the Athabasca oil sands
DownloadFall 2019
In stark contrast to historic mine abandonment, current international best practices in mine reclamation call for geomorphic designs and stability (physical and chemical) for a minimum of 1000 years. Current regulations in Alberta state that post-mining landforms shall be maintenance-free with...

Spring 2012
The Town of Peace River is over hundred years old. It was heavily urbanized by the late 1970s. Development extended to the geologically immature valley slopes of the Peace River and its tributaries. Triggered by various agents, landslides caused damage to houses and infrastructure developed on...

Meeting the Water for Life challenge: Management scenarios to improve irrigation water use efficiency and reduce water demand in the Western Irrigation District, Alberta
DownloadFall 2012
Simulation of two alternative management scenarios - full rehabilitation and implementation of most efficient technologies, and water application restrictions - were investigated with the Irrigation Demand Model (IDM) as potential avenues to improve water use efficiency and reduce water demand in...

Nitrogen Loadings in Stormwater and Snowmelt from Cold-region Urban Catchments in 1991 – 2018 and Prediction for Year 2050
DownloadSpring 2022
Urban stormwater and snowmelt runoff has become a primary source of pollution in receiving water bodies (e.g., rivers, lakes and oceans), causing eutrophication, harmful algae blooms and hypoxia and many other environmental issues. It is therefore imperative to study pollutant loadings from urban...

Potential impact of climate change to the future climate and streamflow of the Mackenzie River Basin
DownloadFall 2016
The Mackenzie River provides a critical corridor for Canada’s Arctic transportation network and the Mackenzie River Basin (MRB), the largest river basin of Canada, has been subjected to the impact of climate change. In this study, we have investigated the potential impacts of climate change on...

Spring 2023
Wildfires are a natural part of Canadian ecosystems, but sometimes pose a threat to people. In Canada, when public safety is threatened by a wildfire encroaching into the wildland-urban interface (WUI), local authorities will typically recommend and lead evacuation of the area. During...
