Anthropogenic climate change has affected the Canadian Arctic cryosphere, accelerating the development of retrogressive thaw slumps (RTS) across the Peel Plateau, NWT, Canada. RTS result from the thawing of ice-rich permafrost and develop due to ablation of ground ice exposed in the slump...

Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of thermokarst and accelerating the delivery of terrestrial organic material from previously sequestered sources to aquatic systems, where it is subject to further biochemical alteration. Rapid climate change in the glacially conditioned...

Automatic weather monitoring stations deployed in arctic regions are usually installed in hard to reach locations. Most of the time they run unsupervised and they face severe environmental conditions: very low temperatures, ice riming, etc. It is usual practice to use a local energy source to...

Resource development is expanding in Canada, particularly in the Arctic. In Canada, damage to stream ecosystems as a result of development requires habitat restoration or compensation measures. A compensation project, focused on improving ecosystem connectivity and aquatic habitat for fish within...

The objective of this research was to evaluate recent advances in active microwave remote sensing technologies in order to further refine the optimal radar parameters for sea ice monitoring in support of marine operations and climate research. To achieve this objective, data from recent active...

Across the circumpolar north, rapid warming and intensifying hydrologic cycles are accelerating permafrost thaw and strengthening land-freshwater linkages. Among the most significant implications of this change is the mobilization of large amounts of previously sequestered organic and inorganic...

Specialist predators with a limited diet may be less adaptable to environmental change than generalists, which consume a diversity of prey. As the climate changes, ecological homogenization is occurring, where generalist species outcompete specialists, reducing ecosystem complexity. In Arctic...

Populations of feral horses have been increasing in the Alberta foothills and pose a concern to the conservation of native grasslands. Sustainable management of feral horses requires information on their habitat use. I utilized spatial data from radio-collared mares to assess seasonal habitat...

Climate change is altering sea ice phenology, which forces polar bears (Ursus maritimus) to spend an increasing amount of time on land. Therefore, understanding movement ecology and terrestrial habitat selection of bears may become increasingly important for conservation planning. The Western...
