The Role of Nutrient and Carbon Reserve Status of Aspen Seedlings in Root-Soil Interactions
DownloadFall 2015
The boreal forest is one of the largest forest ecosystems in the world, covering 14.7 million km2 globally. The Canadian boreal forest has a wealth of natural resources, including coal, timber, and oil; as resource exploration and exploitation has expanded, anthropogenic disturbance in the boreal...

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...

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...

Abstract Literature has the power to change lives. Most English teachers trust this to be true. But while there are numerous arguments, of varying merit, that defend literature on cognitive grounds, few studies convincingly point to the underlying mechanisms of what makes it ‘work,’ or explain...

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...

Naturalization is a new and promising ecological approach to vegetation management for urban environments. Although there have been years of research focused on areas such as land reclamation, ecological restoration and plant establishment there is a lack of knowledge on how to reintegrate the...

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...

Vegetation responses following mountain pine beetle attack in lodgepole pine forests of west-central Alberta
DownloadFall 2018
Natural disturbances are an integral part of forest ecosystems and drive successional change. The boreal forest is adapted to stand-replacing fires, which have different ecological impacts than less severe disturbances, such as insect attacks. In recent years, mountain pine beetle (MPB), a bark...
