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...

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

Integrating soil physico-chemical properties and soil invertebrate bioindicators could prove a practical and robust method for assessing reclamation and soil biological quality...

•δ2H and δ18O were measured bi-weekly during ice-free season for 14 years in 7 lakes. •Variation was greater among seasons than years in lakes with residence time < 1 year....

Highlights •The source dynamics of total and dissolved material were investigated. •Water quality monitoring data was modelled with Deconvolutional-MixSIAR. •A novel approach to...

Canada's federal recovery strategy for boreal woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) classifies areas burned by forest fire as disturbed habitat. This assignment of fire...

Changes in primary productivity have the potential to substantially alter food webs, with positive outcomes for some species and negative outcomes for others. Understanding the...
