Water quality in the McLeod River as an indicator for mining impacts and...
The McLeod River headwaters originate in the Rocky Mountains in west-central Alberta and join the Athabasca River near Whitecourt. Coal mining has occurred in the McLeod... -
Transboundary Atmospheric Pollution from Mountaintop Coal Mining
Mountaintop removal coal mining impairs downstream ecosystems through the delivery of nutrients, ions, and heavy-metals. Here, we show that this mining also impacts ecosystems... -
Legacy coal mining impacts downstream ecosystems for decades in the Canadian Rockies
Mountaintop removal coal mining leaves a legacy of disturbed landscapes and abandoned infrastructure with clear impacts on water resources; however, the intensity and... -
Predicting Imminent Cyanobacterial Blooms in Lakes Using Incomplete Timely Data
Toxic cyanobacterial blooms (CBs) are becoming more frequent globally, posing a threat to freshwater ecosystems. While making long-range forecasts is overly challenging,... -
Thermodynamic and Dynamic Components of Winter Temperature Changes in...
Most of the globe has experienced significant warming trends that have been attributed to anthropogenic climate change. However, these rates of warming are also influenced by... -
Advances in monitoring and modelling of river ice processes
Significant advances in field monitoring, laboratory experiments and computational modelling of river ice processes havebeen made in the past few decades. Different ice processes,... -
Novel multilayer network analysis to assess variation in the spatial...
Understanding how individuals within populations are connected genetically and through shared space-use is critical to understanding the demographic patterns of at-risk... -
Genomics of founders for conservation breeding: the Jasper caribou case
Conservation breeding programs are increasingly used as recovery actions for wild animals; bringing founders into captivity to rear captive populations for future reintroduction... -
Oil sands restoration with warm-adapted trees improves outcomes under...
Successful restoration of human-disturbed landscapes and ecosystems will be increasingly compromised by the impacts of climate warming. Assisted migration and climate-informed... -
The Challenge of Spatialising Point-Source Water Quality Monitoring Data for...
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... -
Distinguishing between research and monitoring programs in environmental...
The terms “research” and “monitoring” are commonly used interchangeably to describe the data-gathering, information-generating, and knowledge-translating activities in... -
A Review of Control Charts and Exploring Their Utility for Regional...
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... -
A Robust Regime Shift Change Detection Algorithm for Water-Flow Dynamics
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... -
Least-Squares Triple Cross-Wavelet and Multivariate Regression Analyses of...
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... -
Status of air quality in Alberta : air zones report
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,... -
