Sustaining the Recovery of Lake Sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) in the North Saskatchewan River of Alberta
DownloadSpring 2016
Nearly all Lake Sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) populations across North America have experienced losses to historic abundances estimated to be > 99%. This species is especially vulnerable to overharvest, habitat degradation, river fragmentation from dams, and is slow to recover due to life...

Temperature Extremes Exposure and Children’s Health: Extreme Heat- and Cold-Related Impacts in Edmonton, Alberta
DownloadSpring 2024
In the current context of escalating climate change effects on public health, Canada's distinctive geographic position causes it to warm at double the global average rate. This phenomenon leads to potentially heightened health risks for its residents through direct and indirect mechanisms....

Temperature-dependent Allee effects in a stage-structured model for Bythotrephes establishment
Download2011-01-01
Young, J. D., Yan, N. D., Lewis, Mark A., Wittmann, M. J.
Whether the invasive freshwater cladoceran Bythotrephes longimanus can establish after introduction into a water body depends on several biotic and abiotic factors. Among these, water temperature is important because both development rates and mode of reproduction (parthenogenetic or sexual) in...

Climate change is currently a central problem in ecology, with far-reaching effects on species that may be diffcult to quantify. Ectothermic species which rely on environmental cues to complete successive stages of their life history are especially sensitive to temperature changes and so are good...

Temporal variability in area burned for the Province of Ontario, Canada during the past 200 years inferred from tree-rings
Download2006
Tardif, J., Flannigan, M.D., Girardin, M.P.
Area burned variability in the province of Ontario, Canada, was inferred from 25 tree ring width chronologies covering A. D. 1781-1982 and distributed largely across the Boreal Shield. The area burned estimates account for 39.5% of the variance in the actual area burned recorded from 1917 to 1981...

Modifiable cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, such as adiposity, are already associated with atherosclerotic progression in childhood. Less is known about whether physical activity (PA) is associated with progression of atherosclerosis in non-clinical samples of children. This...

The Deliberative Experience: Exploring the Experiences of Participants within the Citizens' Panel on Edmonton's Energy and Climate Challenges
DownloadFall 2013
Climate change is a complex and value-laden issue, polarized by debate, and the localized nature of its effects warrants greater community response and citizen participation. This research contributes to existing deliberative democracy theory and practice by exploring the nature of participant...

High-resolution regional climate simulations of the Karakoram, Himalaya have been performed for investigation into the atmospheric dynamics in this region, and their role in the Karakoram’s snowfall accumulation and glacial evolution. It has been seen through a combination of field measurements...

Studies have found that belief in anthropogenic climate change, and approval of policies to combat it, are lower in Alberta compared to the rest of Canada. This paper expands on previous research by examining how the framing of climate change by Alberta politicians changed over time, and why. I...
