Thompson, M. D., Kirby, M. E., Wride, M. C.
The purpose of this study was to prepare ecological habitat working maps at a scale of 1:50,000 from false colour infrared photographs of the AOSERP study area obtained in 1977, and to evaluate multispectral and multistage remote sensing techniques for application to mapping and monitoring in the...

Evaluation of Radar and Cameras as Tools for Automating the Monitoring of Waterbirds at Industrial Sites
DownloadFall 2014
Conflict occurs between people and birds at industrial sites around the world, where birds can endanger human lives (e.g. airports) and where bird populations are endangered by human activities (e.g. wind farms). Mitigating these conflicts requires accurate detection of birds and measures of...

1979
Prior to 1975 information on surface water hydrology in the oil sands area was very limited. During 1975 and 1976 a number of hydrometric gauging stations were provided by AOSERP to bring the total number of stations in the area to 32. Measurements of standard water quality parameters began at...

Evaluation, analysis, and assessment of snowpack and precipitation data from a monitoring network in the AOSERP study area
Download1985
Heidorn, K., Stevens, D., Todd, S., Fellin, P., Davis, C. S.
The data and network operating procedures from the precipitation and snow sampling networks in the AOSERP area of Alberta were reviewed and assessed. The data was first reformatted into NAQUADAT format and then quality assured by several screening procedures including outlier tests, simultaneous...

Factors affecting the detectability and eastern distribution of grizzly bears in Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2013
Effective and adaptive conservation of a species requires knowledge of trend in abundance and distribution. Monitoring species that are highly mobile, cryptic, and occurring at low densities is especially challenging. This research investigates the local factors affecting the detectability of...

Factors influencing bee pollinator bycatch in cutworm and armyworm moth (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) monitoring programs in Alberta, Canada
DownloadSpring 2019
Unintentional bycatch of bee pollinators in monitoring traps that target moth pests occurs in many agroecosystems. Capture of bees can have a substantial effect on the efficiency of monitoring systems and has the potential to negatively impact bee biodiversity and pollination services for both...
