Achieving Conservation when Opportunity Costs Are High: Optimizing Reserve Design in Alberta’s Oil Sands Region
Download2011-08-17
Using Alberta, Canada, as a case study we use a trade-off analysis to systematically explore the relationship between conservation targets and economic opportunity costs in the context of coarse-filter reserve design. We use the Marxan conservation planning software to generate reserve designs at...

Enhanced N2 and O2 densities inferred from EISCAT observations of Pc5 waves and associated electron precipitation
Download2016
Yau, Andrew W., Sydorenko, Dmytro, Rankin, Robert
An advanced two-dimensional numerical model of the coupled ionosphere and magnetosphere is used to analyze EISCAT observations of ULF waves that are accompanied by electron precipitation with a wide energy spectrum. The observations show columns of significantly enhanced electron density produced...

Exhaustion and steady state models for predicting landslide hazards in the Canadian Rocky Mountains
Download1993
The temporal distribution of landslides can be evaluated by steady-state and exhaustion models. The probability of landsliding remains constant through time in the steady-state model but the probability decreases in the exhaustion model as more slopes fail. Rock sliding down bedding surfaces on...

Boreal wetlands play an important role in global carbon balance. However, their ecosystem function is threatened by direct anthropogenic disturbance and climate change. Oil sands surface mining in the boreal regions of Western Canada denudes tracts of land of organic materials, leaves large areas...
