Macdonald, S. E., Schmiegelow, F. K. A., Shepherd, L.
Abstract: Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) populations in Jasper (JNP) and Banff National Parks (BNP) have declined since the 1970s, coincident with reduced fire activity in both parks, relative to historic levels. Some researchers have suggested that long periods without fire may...

Metrics for Assessing Fisheries Productivity and Offsetting Strategies under Canada’s New Fisheries Act
Download2014-12-23
Poesch, M., Christensen-Dalsgaard, K.K., Sinnatamby, R.N.
The Alberta oil sands region contains one of the world’s largest oil deposits, estimated at 1.7 trillion barrels. Development in this region can have negative effects for aquatic species, governed under Canada’s Fisheries Act. The Fisheries Act allows the possibility for offsetting losses in...

Given high levels of human disturbance and projected rates of climate change, many species will be unable to keep pace with their shifting climatic ranges and thus face increased risk of extinction. This research investigated the use of assisted migrations for two rare and range-restricted plant...

Modeling the impacts of recent climate change on ecosystem productivity across North America
DownloadFall 2015
There is evidence of warming and changes in precipitation over recent decades in most regions of North America (NA) that are affecting ecosystem productivity. The impacts of these changes on land-atmosphere carbon exchange over a wide range of biomes are spatially heterogeneous and uncertain. In...

Plastic products have become a necessary part of our day-to-day lives. They are useful because they are incredibly stable and durable, but what are the consequences? Nanoplastics are small pieces of plastic, from 1000 nm to 1 nm, that are either formed in factories or from the degradation of...

Nitrogen Loadings in Stormwater and Snowmelt from Cold-region Urban Catchments in 1991 – 2018 and Prediction for Year 2050
DownloadSpring 2022
Urban stormwater and snowmelt runoff has become a primary source of pollution in receiving water bodies (e.g., rivers, lakes and oceans), causing eutrophication, harmful algae blooms and hypoxia and many other environmental issues. It is therefore imperative to study pollutant loadings from urban...

Whittington, J., Mercer, G., St. Clair, C.C.
Few studies have examined the effects of human development on fine-scale movement behavior, yet understanding animal movement through increasingly human-dominated landscapes is essential for the persistence of many wild populations, especially wary species. In mountainous areas, roads and trails...

Abstract This thesis explores the risk perception of climate change among Egyptians who reside in Canada and Egyptians who reside in Egypt. It applies a quantitative comparative analysis of these two populations to assess differences in risk perception of climate change and the influence of world...
