This report presents median and 90th percentile (peak) concentrations calculated from monthly water quality samples at Long-Term River Network stations across the South...

Serious games provide a way for stakeholders to become engaged in and understand the issues and constraints on a real-world system. An application of a serious game is explored,...

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...

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...

Mapping and monitoring surface water features is important for sustainably managing this critical natural resource that is in decline due to numerous natural and anthropogenic...

We compared a rapid bioassessment protocol (Traveling Sweep Approach [TSA]) with a more conventional time intensive protocol (Composite Transect Approach [CTA]) to describe...

Trace elements can accumulate in aquatic food webs, becoming potentially hazardous to wildlife and human health. Whereas many studies have examined mercury dynamics in...

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...

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...

Anomalous atmospheric conditions which, for the most part, manifest in the form of heavy precipitation events leading to the generation of pluvial or fluvial flooding in some...

Bioaccumulation of mercury in freshwater fish is a complex process driven by environmental and biological factors. In this study, we assessed mercury in fish from four...

Multiple factors operating across different spatial and temporal scales affect β-diversity, the variation in community composition among sites. Disentangling the relative...

Yellow Rails (Coturnicops noveboracensis) are among the most secretive bird species in North America. They are poorly sampled by common survey protocols, and as a result their...

Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have been successfully adopted in predictive modeling to capture the nonlinearity of natural systems. The high seasonal variability of...

Near real time (NRT) remote sensing derived land surface temperature (Ts) data has an utmost importance in various applications of natural hazards and disasters. Space-based...

Local population units (LPUs) were delineated in Canada’s recovery strategy for threatened boreal woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou). Population viability analyses...

The spatial composition and configuration of land use land cover (LULC) in the urban landscape impact the land surface temperature (LST). In this study, we assessed such impacts...

Pleistocene glacial cycles influenced the diversification of high-latitude wildlife species through recurrent periods of range contraction, isolation, divergence, and expansion...

Continuous ambient air analyzers require multipoint calibrations on a routine monthly basis and after major maintenance is completed. This procedure describes the role of Zero-...

Compressed gas cylinders are used in a variety of applications involved with ambient air monitoring. Safe handling of these cylinders is required for all concerned. This...
