Life cycle assessment (LCA) is becoming a popular tool to quantify environmental impacts including greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Because of the high number of assumptions and low quality of available data, the results of LCA are often viewed with skepticism. It is common for studies to provide...

Bioclimate envelope models are widely used to project potential species habitat under changing climate. Conceptually, these models are also well suited to match natural resource management practices to new climatic realities, for example by guiding species choice in reforestation programs....

Effects of Biochar, Fertilizer and Shelter Treatments on the Vegetation Development following Coal Mine Reclamation
DownloadFall 2016
Poor quality cover soil, a lack of propagules, and availability of suitable microsites can be serious challenges in the re-vegetation success of surface mines. In my thesis research, I examined the response of total cover, species richness and community composition of colonizing vegetation on a...

Effects of recreational traffic on alpine plant communities in the northern Canadian Rockies
Download2012
MacDonald, S. E., Crisfield, V., Gould, J.
Abstract: Recreational activities in alpine areas have been increasing in recent decades, creating the need to improve our understanding of the impacts of these activities and how they are best managed. We explored impacts of recreational trail use on dry alpine meadows in the northern Canadian...

A challenge in petroleum geostatistics is the application of modeling algorithms such as Gaussian simulation to unstructured grids that are being used for flow simulation. Geostatistical modeling is typically applied on a fine scale regular grid and then upscaled to the unstructured grid. This...

Landry, Jean-Sebastion, Price, David T., Ramankutty, Navin, Parrott, Lael, Matthews, H. Damon
Insects defoliate and kill plants in many ecosystems worldwide. The consequences of these natural processes on terrestrial ecology and nutrient cycling are well established, and their potential climatic effects resulting from modified land–atmosphere exchanges of carbon, energy, and water are...

Influence of permafrost characteristics on vegetation change in Yukon and Northwest Territories, Canada
DownloadFall 2021
Permafrost thaw is a significant contributor to landscape change and ecosystem disruption in northern systems. While previous studies have examined the impact of permafrost on vegetation change, few have investigated the connection of permafrost characteristics to the type and extent of...
