The Restorative Imperative: Challenges, objectives and approaches to restoring naturalness in forests
Download2011
Burton, P. J., MacDonald, S. E.
Abstract: Many of the world's forests are not primeval; forest restoration aims to reverse alterations caused by human use. Forest restoration (including reforestation and forest rehabilitation) is widely researched and practiced around the globe. A review of recent literature reveals some common...

Legacy propagule banks of salvaged topsoils are excellent sources of plant propagules for reclamation of mine sites. However, prior studies show that less than 50% of species found in original propagule banks actually establish. We hypothesize that the expression of this legacy propagule bank is...

The use of peat applications and Carex aquatilis for peatland reclamation on post mined landscapes in northern Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2018
I investigated peatland reclamation factors in a wetland built on a former open-pit oil sands mine in northern Alberta, Canada. The primary research objectives were to investigate the persistence of peat placed in a newly constructed wetland, the survival and establishment of Carex aquatilis...

The goal of top-k ranking is to rank individuals so that the best k of them can be determined. Depending on the application domain, an individual can be a person, a product, an event, or just a collection of data or information for which an ordering makes sense. In the context of databases, top-k...

This thesis explores the development and preliminary operation of a new test method for roller and roller path arrangements on ultra-class mining shovels. The lack of existing lab-scale test methods discourage significant change, and restrict the development of the roller and roller path to minor...

Uncertainty in Life Cycle Assessments of Well-to-Wheel Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Transportation Fuels Derived from Various Crude Oils
DownloadFall 2016
Growing concern over climate change has created pressure on the oil and gas industry to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Several life cycle assessment (LCA) studies have examined various crude oils in an attempt to determine which have the lowest and highest well-to-wheel (WTW) GHG...
