Wildfire Fuel Mapping with Convolutional Neural Networks for Remote Automated Exposure Assessment
DownloadFall 2023
While beneficial to the natural environment in many cases, wildfires become hazardous when they intersect with the built environment. As such, there is an ongoing effort to understand the fire environment, the fuels it contains, and the way that wildfire interacts with the built environment. In...

Wildfire impacts to soil in Alberta’s southern Rocky Mountains: pyrogenic carbon abundance and character on a post-wildfire landscape
DownloadFall 2023
Pyrogenic carbon (PyC) is a ubiquitous soil constituent produced as a result of wildland and anthropogenic fire. The dynamic nature of wildfire produces heterogenous chemical by-products in a broad range of sizes and chemical makeup, from lighter soots to heavier charcoals. A large component of...

Wildfires and climate change: their effects on moose (Alces alces) and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) winter habitat in the boreal mixedwoods of Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2021
Understanding how species respond to wildfires and climate change is fundamental for land use management and biodiversity conservation. Wildfires provide generalist ungulates, such as moose (Alces alces) and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), with high quantity and quality of winter...

Harden, J.W., Payne, N., Friedli, H.R., Radke, L.F., Crock, J., Flannigan, M.D., Turetsky, M.R.
With climate change rapidly affecting northern forests and wetlands, mercury reserves once protected in cold, wet soils are being exposed to burning, likely triggering large releases of mercury to the atmosphere. We quantify organic soil mercury stocks and burn areas across western, boreal Canada...
