Fall 2016
As resource exploitation and development expands in northern Canada, threats to the ecological integrity of freshwater systems increase. In Canada, developments that could negatively affect aquatic ecosystems require offsetting or compensation measures. As a result of diamond mine development, a...

The development of the Diavik diamond mine destroyed pristine lakes and streams in Barrenlands region of northern Canada. Subsequently, several fish habitat compensation projects were undertaken to offset these losses. The M-Lakes project was intended to enhance the productive capacity of a...

This thesis concentrates on the construction of directional tensor product complex tight framelets. It uses a complex tight framelet filter bank in one dimension and the tensor product of the one-dimensional filter bank to obtain high-dimensional filter bank. It has a number of advantages over...

It is well known that most information of an image is contained in its edges. Therefore capturing edges in an image is of fundamental importance in image processing. Tensor product real-valued wavelets only capture edges along the horizontal and vertical direc- tions. Hence they are only...

Ecohydraulics of Nature-Like Fishways and Applications in Arctic Aquatic Ecosystem Connectivity
DownloadFall 2015
Northern Canada is currently undergoing rapid mineral extraction development. As part of this development there is a need to perform fish habitat compensation projects and build effective fish passage facilities. There is currently limited information available on the hydraulics of nature-like...

Resource development can lead to the harmful alteration, disruption, or destruction of fish habitat. During Diavik Diamond Mine, Inc.’s (DDMI) development of its facilities at Lac de Gras (LDG), NWT, DDMI destroyed two small headwater lakes and associated streams. To help offset this loss, DDMI...

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...

Habitat use by fluvial Arctic Grayling (Thymallus arcticus) in mountain streams of the Little Nahanni watershed, Northwest Territories
DownloadFall 2020
Northern aquatic ecosystems face increasing pressures from climate change and natural resource development, raising conservation concerns for species in these vast and remote regions. Arctic Grayling (Thymallus arcticus) have a Holarctic distribution and are a sensitive freshwater fish that...

In Chapters 1 and 2, we introduce the definition of interpolating refinable function vectors in dimension one and high dimensions, characterize such interpolating refinable function vectors in terms of their masks, and derive their sum rule structure explicitly. We study biorthogonal refinable...
