2018-2019 status of surface water quality, South Saskatchewan Region, Alberta
This report presents median and 90th percentile (peak) concentrations calculated from monthly water quality samples at Long-Term River Network stations across the South... -
A serious gaming tool: Bow River Sim for communicating integrated water...
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,... -
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... -
Automated SAR Image Thresholds for Water Mask Production in Alberta’s Boreal Region
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... -
Bioassessment of benthic macroinvertebrates in wetlands: a paired comparison...
We compared a rapid bioassessment protocol (Traveling Sweep Approach [TSA]) with a more conventional time intensive protocol (Composite Transect Approach [CTA]) to describe... -
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... -
Investigating the Spatio-Temporal dynamics in the soil water storage in...
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... -
Mercury bioaccumulation in stream fish from an agriculturally-dominated watershed
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... -
Multiscale drivers of phytoplankton communities in north-temperate lakes
Multiple factors operating across different spatial and temporal scales affect β-diversity, the variation in community composition among sites. Disentangling the relative... -
Modeling the occurrence of the Yellow Rail (Coturnicops noveboracensis) in...
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... -
Predicting River Flow Using an AI-Based Sequential Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy...
Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have been successfully adopted in predictive modeling to capture the nonlinearity of natural systems. The high seasonal variability of... -
Processing of Near Real Time Land Surface Temperature and Its Application in...
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... -
Spatial structure of boreal woodland caribou populations in northwest Canada
Local population units (LPUs) were delineated in Canada’s recovery strategy for threatened boreal woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou). Population viability analyses... -
Use of Remote Sensing in Comprehending the Influence of Urban Landscape’s...
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... -
Population dynamics of caribou shaped by glacial cycles before the last...
Pleistocene glacial cycles influenced the diversification of high-latitude wildlife species through recurrent periods of range contraction, isolation, divergence, and expansion... -
The WaterSHED monitoring program (Water: Saskatchewan headwaters Edmonton...
This is the first annual technical report from the multistakeholder WaterSHED water quality monitoring program of North Saskatchewan River Basin tributaries. The report includes... -
Can soil invertebrates indicate soil biological quality on well pads...
Integrating soil physico-chemical properties and soil invertebrate bioindicators could prove a practical and robust method for assessing reclamation and soil biological quality...
