Machine learning-based design and techno-economic assessments of adsorption processes for CO2 capture
DownloadFall 2021
Cyclic adsorption processes are widely considered for various industrial gas separations, including CO2 capture. The flexibility to configure a variety of process cycles is an attractive process design feature of these processes. Despite such flexibility for process design, computationally...

Modelling Mountain Pine Beetle Abundance and Distribution in Novel Hosts and Changing Climate
DownloadSpring 2024
The mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae, Hopkins 1902), an invasive bark beetle native to North America, has expanded its habitat from central British Columbia to Northern Alberta. This expansion poses an immediate threat to jack pine forests, which extend from Alberta to Nova Scotia....

Modelling Mountain Pine Beetle Population Dynamics and Management: A Case Study from the Cypress Hills
DownloadFall 2019
Outbreaks of insects are one of the main sources of disturbance in North American pine forests. The huge economic and ecological consequences of these outbreaks emphasize the need for effective pest management. For example, the mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae, Hopkins 1902) has...

Mountain pine beetle and forest harvest effects on hydrologic processes and streamflow in the Alberta Foothills
DownloadSpring 2021
The Alberta Foothills region has experienced an unprecedented mountain pine beetle (MPB) outbreak. The provincial management strategy is to contain the infestation with forest harvest. The landscape becomes a patchwork of dead (MPB grey-attack), alive, and harvested stands. MPB attack affects the...

Pine Wars: A New Host Interactions between the mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) and its pine hosts in Canada's boreal forest
DownloadFall 2023
Mountain pine beetle (MPB) has undergone a climate change facilitated range expansion and has attacked and killed trees at higher latitudes and elevations than has ever been recorded. During outbreaks, MPB attack large healthy pine trees that will fight back against the colonizing beetles using...
