Direct and indirect drivers of plant diversity responses to climate and clipping across northern temperate grassland
Download2014
Bork, E. W., White, S. R., Cahill Jr, J. F.
It is well known that climate can influence plant community assembly via a multitude of indirect and direct pathways. However, interpretations of plant diversity responses to simulated climate change experiments, and subsequent predictions of plant communities under future climate scenarios,...

Diversity among taxodiaceous conifers: Metasequoia foxii sp. nov. from the Paleocene of central Alberta, Canada.
Download2001
Falder, A.B., Stockey, R.A., Rothwell, G.W.
A single species of taxodioid conifers is among the dominant floristic elements at two stratigraphically contemporaneous Paleocene fossil localities in central Alberta, Canada. More than 10,000 compression specimens, including oppositely branched stems, vegetative shoots with decussately arranged...

Global warming is contributing to extreme climatic events, especially at higher elevations and latitudes. Phytoplankton assemblages are highly sensitive to these climate-related environmental changes, which include heatwaves and drought events. Knowledge gaps exist concerning the cumulative...

EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE, VEGETATION AND ROADS ON CARIBOU DISTRIBUTION IN WESTERN NORTH-AMERICA
DownloadFall 2017
Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) are a vital component of the cultural history and contemporary existence of First Nations and northern communities. However, caribou habitat is increasingly threatened by cumulative effects of climate change and land-use pressures from human settlement, forestry, and...

Environmental Migration in an Era of Accelerated Climate Change: Proposing a Normative Framework for International Migrant Rights and Domestic Migration Policy
DownloadFall 2015
This dissertation takes up the challenge of addressing the growing gap between international human rights and the changing face of migration in a period of accelerated climate change. The conditions of climate change are increasingly displacing peoples through rising sea levels, desertification...

This thesis develops three major essays on Arbitrage Theory, Market’s Viabil- ity and Informational Markets. The first essay (Chapter 3) elaborates the exact connections among the No-Unbounded-Profit-with-Bounded-Risk (called NUPBR hereafter) condition, the existence of the numeraire portfolio,...

McLachlan, J. S., Lewis, M. A., HilleRisLambers, J., Clark, J. S.
Recent literature on plant population spread advocates quantification of long-distance dispersal (LDD). These estimates could provide insights into rates of migration in response to climate change and rates of alien invasions. LDD information is not available for parameterization of current...

Europe going green? The European Union's promotion of a global mitigation norm on climate change
Fall 2011
Greenhouse gas emissions need to peak by 2020 to avoid dangerous climate change. Yet, emissions are rising, particularly in emerging economies like China. A global agreement on curbing emissions, which includes all major emitters, is urgently needed. Has the European Union (EU) contributed to the...

Small-scale vertical aerial photographs taken in 1947 and 1948 covering 200 km2 of the Kluane Ranges, southwest Yukon, were compared with corresponding photographs taken in 1989 for the purpose of characterizing changes in the distribution and abundance of white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench)...
