Regional Variability and Changing Water Distributions Drive Large-scale...
Geographic inequalities in water distribution can lead to relatively small regions driving or buffering changes in water availability in major watersheds. This research provides... -
Behavioral habitat selection of wood bison (Bison bison athabascae) in boreal forests
Habitat selection is critical to informing wildlife management and conservation. However, different behaviors require the use of different habitat components. Not considering... -
Winter Dust Storms Impact the Physical and Biogeochemical Functioning of a...
We found that a winter of abnormally low snowfall and numerous dust storms from eolian processes acting on exposed landscapes (including a major 4-day dust storm while onsite in... -
Genetic network analysis uncovers spatial variation in diversity and...
The conservation of genetic diversity and connectivity is essential for the long-term persistence and adaptive ability of a species. Recent calls have been made for the... -
Determining ice-jam stage frequency distributions of an ungauged river reach...
Ice-jam floods are a common, but dangerous natural phenomena occurring in many northern rivers. These events are even more dangerous when only limited gauged river data is... -
Estimating Lake Evaporation for the South Saskatchewan River Basin of Alberta
Evaporation from a reservoir’s surface is an important component of water balance calculations. Using long-term (1955–2020) climate data from Alberta Climate Information... -
Improving Insights on Air Pollutant Mixtures and Their Origins by Enhancing...
An “event-based” approach to characterize complex air pollutant mixtures was applied in the Oil Sands region of northern Alberta, Canada. This approach was developed to better-... -
Lake-sediment record of PAH, mercury, and fly-ash particle deposition near...
We report a historical record of atmospheric deposition in dated sediment cores from Hasse Lake, ideally located near both currently and previously operational coal-fired power... -
Tracing nitrate sources with a combined isotope approach (δ15NNO3, δ18ONO3...
Rapid population growth and land-use intensification over the last century have resulted in a substantial increase in nutrient loads degrading marine and freshwater ecosystems... -
Prevalence, levels and seasonal variations of human enteric viruses in six...
The prevalence and seasonal variation of 7 viruses in 6 major rivers in Alberta were assessed using a combination of qPCR, cell culture and integrated cell culture with qPCR... -
Multiple threats and stressors to the Athabasca River Basin: What do we know so far?
Over the last five decades, the Athabasca River Basin in Alberta, Canada, has been subjected to a wide range of environmental stressors from diverse human developments. This has... -
Environmental archives of atmospheric Hg deposition – A review
Environmental archives offer an opportunity to reconstruct temporal trends in atmospheric Hg deposition at various timescales. Lake sediment and peat have been the most widely... -
Quantifying seasonal succession of phytoplankton trait‐environment...
Integration of species traits in direct gradient analysis generates insights into how communities are assembled and may respond to environmental changes. We investigated... -
Atmospheric drivers of winter above-freezing temperatures and associated...
Winter thaw episodes, especially when accompanied by rain, can significantly deplete the winter snowpack, which is a critical water storage component in the mountainous... -
Succession after reclamation: Identifying and assessing ecological...
Site preparation for oil and gas extraction often requires the complete removal of vegetation and surface soil on the well pad. Although subsequent reclamation then attempts to... -
A spatial–temporal approach to modeling somatic growth across inland...
We develop a mechanistically motivated von Bertalanffy growth model to estimate growth rate and its predictors from spatial–temporal data and compare this model’s performance... -
An empirical analysis of hunter response to chronic wasting disease in Alberta
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) has impacted wildlife management in Canada. An integral partner in CWD management is the hunting community. This article empirically explored the... -
Biological Factors Moderate Trace Element Accumulation in Fish along an...
Trace elements can accumulate in aquatic food webs, becoming potentially hazardous to wildlife and human health. Whereas many studies have examined mercury dynamics in... -
Effects of univariate and multivariate statistical downscaling methods on...
Statistical downscaling methods have been actively developed to improve the applicability of global climate models’ (GCMs) outputs to impact studies at a local scale. This study... -
Flows for floodplain forests: Conversion from an intermittent to continuous...
The Little Bow River (LBR) in western Canada naturally displayed an intermittent flow regime; the channel dried up most summers, excluding the development of riparian woodlands...
