Significant advances in field monitoring, laboratory experiments and computational modelling of river ice processes havebeen made in the past few decades. Different ice processes,...

Understanding how individuals within populations are connected genetically and through shared space-use is critical to understanding the demographic patterns of at-risk...

Conservation breeding programs are increasingly used as recovery actions for wild animals; bringing founders into captivity to rear captive populations for future reintroduction...

Successful restoration of human-disturbed landscapes and ecosystems will be increasingly compromised by the impacts of climate warming. Assisted migration and climate-informed...

Open-pit and subsurface extraction of oil sands in Alberta, Canada, continue to expand and pose a risk of contamination to the aquatic ecosystems of the region. These operations...

The terms “research” and “monitoring” are commonly used interchangeably to describe the data-gathering, information-generating, and knowledge-translating activities in...

Industrial control charts are used in manufacturing to quickly and robustly indicate the status of production and to prompt any necessary corrective actions. The library of...

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...
