Boxed-in: Comparing Algorithms for Box-flight Mass-Balance Greenhouse Gas Flux Measurements from Mineable and In Situ Oil Sands Developments
DownloadSpring 2022
To combat global warming, Canada has committed to reducing greenhouse gases (GHGs) 40-45% below 2005 emission levels by 2025. Monitoring emissions and deriving accurate inventories are essential to reaching these goals. GHGs can be measured at a small scale, often using ground measurements which...

Characterizing the Impacts of Seismic Exploration Lines on the Hydrology and Vadose Zone for a Watershed in West-Central Alberta
DownloadFall 2023
Seismic lines are long linear cut lines through forests created for hydrocarbon exploration and comprise over 50 % of all linear disturbances in the Canadian Boreal Forest. They are known to impact local eco-hydrological conditions and show minimal regeneration back to pre-disturbance conditions....

Today is a Different Day: Exploring First Nations Emergency Preparedness in the Province of Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2024
Polard-Yopek, Nathan Alexander
First Nations in Canada bear disproportionate risk posed by environmental hazards. Existing literature indicates that colonization and systemic underinvestment in First Nations have historically led to low levels of preparedness. As climate change is causing the impacts of environmental hazards...
