Spring 2023
Countries around the world strive to improve the well-being of their people; one of the means to achieve that is to ensure a safe, resilient, and efficient transportation network. Bhutan, a developing country, in southeast Asia, shares the common goal of poverty reduction and economic growth...

A multi-scale test of the forage maturation hypothesis in a partially migratory ungulate population
Download2008
McDermid, G., Hebblewhite, M., Merrill, E.
The forage maturation hypothesis (FMH) proposes that ungulate migration is driven by selection for high forage quality. Because quality declines with plant maturation, but intake declines at low biomass, ungulates are predicted to select for intermediate forage biomass to maximize energy intake...

Optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy (OR-PAM) is a novel imaging technology providing high micron-scale lateral spatial resolution to visualize superficial structures in vivo with optical-absorption contrast. The term “optical resolution” is used since the lateral resolution of the system...

Fall 2017
Biodiversity loss endangers ecosystem services and is considered as a global change that may generate unacceptable environmental consequences on the Earth system. Global biodiversity observations are needed to provide a deep understanding of the biodiversity - ecosystem services relationship and...

Assessing uncertainties related to the use of satellite remote sensing indices to estimate Gross Primary Production
DownloadSpring 2024
Methods to quantify Gross Primary Production (GPP) are classified into two categories: Eddy Covariance techniques (EC) and satellite data-driven. EC techniques can measure carbon fluxes directly, albeit with spatial constraints. Satellite data-driven methods are promising because they overcome...

Assisted migration to address climate change: recommendations for aspen reforestation in western Canada
Download2011
Mbogga, M. S., Chen, P., Gray, L. K., Gylander, T., Hamann, A.
Abstract: Human-aided movement of species populations in large-scale reforestation programs could be a potent and cost-effective climate change adaptation strategy. Such large-scale management interventions, however, tend to entail the risks of unintended consequences, and we propose that three...

Characterizing an in-situ fraction of Photosynthetic Active Radiation product for implementation in the validation of MODIS-derived fraction of Photosynthetic Active Radiation products using continuous-wavelet transforms
DownloadSpring 2020
The goal of this thesis is to address the need to improve forestry monitoring and satellite validation techniques to better contextualize the effects that human-induced climate change is having on tropical dry forests (TDFs). Climate change is expected to change regional and global precipitation...

Fall 2016
The increasing anthropogenic pressure on biodiversity in the tropics is resulting in changes to ecosystem structure and increasing species extinction rates (Collen et al. 2013). These issues are heightened in the tropics where 50% of the world’s biodiversity is held in 7% of the world’s...

Development of GIS-based Methods for Modeling Fire Hazard - A Large Scale Empirical Investigation
DownloadSpring 2022
Wildland fires are natural occurrences in the woodland landscape that play a vital ecological role in Canada's boreal forest region. However, they also endanger human life and can disrupt timber resources and other economic assets. Recently, wildfires have ravaged areas of British Columbia,...

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,...
