The migratory life history and physiology of arctic char, Salvelinus alpinus, navigating change in the Canadian North
DownloadFall 2015
Global climate change (GCC) is most pronounced at higher latitudes; to what degree northern migratory fish species can tolerate this change remains largely unknown. Imminent effects of GCC on arctic rivers include warmer water temperatures and changes in the timing, frequency and magnitude of...

The north is not all the same: comparing health system performance in 18 northern regions of Canada
Download2019-11-29
Young, T. Kue, Chatwood, Susan, Ng, Carmina, Young, Robin, W., Marchildon, Gregory, P.
"We investigated the availability of health system performance indicator data in Canada’s 18 northern regions and the feasibility of using the performance framework developed by the Canadian Institute for Health Information [CIHI]. We examined the variation in 24 indicators across regions and...

The Temporary Foreign Worker Program in Alberta: Exploring the Key Determinants of Public Opinion
DownloadFall 2015
This research explores public opinion regarding the Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) program in Canada. It is situated within an important moment in the program’s history, in a province with particularly widespread reliance on it. Utilizing the 2013 Alberta Survey – a province-wide telephone survey...

Fall 2015
Predation by grey wolves (Canis lupus) has been identified as an important cause of boreal woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) mortality. Wolves have been hypothesized to use human-created linear features such as seismic lines, pipelines and roads to increase ease of movement resulting...

Through Our Immigrant Eyes: Point of View and the (Re)definitions of Citizenship in Hispanic and Sinophone Literature and Film of Migration
DownloadSpring 2024
We live in a historical period that has been named “the age of migration,” an epoch characterized by uncanny interconnectedness and an extended virtue of mobility, where everyone is or at least has the potential to become a migrant (Nail 14). We all move, but not all movements are the same. Some...

Many geophysical inverse problems are ill-posed and have to be regularized. The most often used solution methods for solving ill-posed problems are based on the use of quadratic regularization that results in smooth solutions. Solutions of this type are not to be suitable when the model parameter...

Trade-offs between predation risk and forage differ between migrant strategies in a migratory ungulate
Download2009
Trade-offs between predation risk and forage fundamentally drive resource selection by animals. Among migratory ungulates, trade-offs can occur at large spatial scales through migration, which allows an \"escape'' from predation, but trade-offs can also occur at finer spatial scales. Previous...

Historically seismic data processing has relied on the acoustic approximation to process single component data under the simplifying assumption that the recorded wavefield consists mainly of compressional wave modes. With the advancement of multicomponent seismic technology there is an increased...

Venison to beef and deviance from truth: biotelemetry for detecting seasonal wolf prey selection in Alberta
DownloadFall 2010
An abrupt interface between mountains and prairies in southwestern Alberta means wilderness areas and carnivore populations overlap cattle grazing lands. Consequently, there is concern about the effects of large carnivores, especially wolves, on livestock. I used GPS clusters and scat samples...
