Stream and river monitoring have an influential role in agriculture, the fishing industry, land surveillance, the oil and gas industry, etc. Recognizing sudden changes in the...

River flow monitoring is a critical task for land management, agriculture, fishery, industry, and other concerns. Herein, a robust least squares triple cross-wavelet analysis is...

These reports summarize the Canadian Ambient Air Quality Standards status for Alberta’s air zones for ambient concentrations of fine particulate matter, ground-level ozone,...

Describes the various methods available to implement fertility control methods in feral horse populations. This information sheet is one of five current-knowledge documents...

Describes how feral horse behaviour, population dynamics and distribution patterns differ from native ungulates in Alberta. This information sheet is one of five current-...

Describes the advantages and disadvantages of minimum count surveys and distance sampling as the two methods used to determine feral horse populations in Alberta. This...

Looks at the impacts of feral horse populations on rangeland ecosystems and how this compares to other large herbivores on the landscape. This information sheet is one of five...

Provides an overview of the origin of horses in Alberta, factors affecting feral horse population dynamics and a summary of Alberta Environment and Protected Areas' minimum...

Seasonal streamflow forecasts provide key information for decision-making in fields such as water supply management, hydropower generation, and irrigation scheduling. The...

Oil sands development in the Athabasca and Cold Lake oil sands regions of Alberta has raised concerns about potential impacts to groundwater and groundwater dependent...

Migration is an evolutionarily stable adaptation when movement costs are outweighed by fitness gains. Migration is defined as the predictable movement between seasonal ranges in...

The influence of increasing anthropogenic pressure on ecosystem integrity, such as land use change, is resulting in many ecosystems experiencing a decline in their ability to...

Lake sediment serves as a natural archive of historical biological information. The use of sedimentary DNA (sedDNA), a form of environmental DNA (eDNA) shed by aquatic organisms...

The Canada-Alberta Oil Sands Monitoring (OSM) Program began long-term surface water quality monitoring on the lower Athabasca River in 2012. Sampling of low level, bio-...

Seismic lines are the dominant anthropogenic disturbance in the boreal forest of the Canadian province of Alberta, fragmenting over 1900 km2 of peatland areas and accounting for...

Hydrological systems across the globe are increasingly subjected to pressures from a warming climate and anthropogenic disturbance. Responses to stress can be nonlinear and...

In the April 2019 issue, Liggio et al. published an analysis that utilized CO2 emission estimates obtained from aircraft flight studies carried out in the Athabasca Oil Sands...

Complexity of addressing cumulative effects that vary in space and time, especially for species occupying large ranges, makes conservation and recovery of populations difficult....

Geographic inequalities in water distribution can lead to relatively small regions driving or buffering changes in water availability in major watersheds. This research provides...

This is the second technical report from the multistakeholder WaterSHED water quality monitoring program of North Saskatchewan River Basin tributaries. The report includes a...
