    Western Grebe Surveys in Alberta 2016

    WESTERN GREBE SURVEYS IN ALBERTA 2016 The western grebe has been listed as a Threatened species in Alberta. A recent data compilation shows that there are approximately 250 lakes that have supported western grebes in Alberta. However, information for most lakes is poor and outdate d. Total counts on lakes are rare, breeding status is uncertain, and the location and extent of breeding habitat (emergent vegetation, usually bulrush) is usually unknown. We are seeking your help in gathering more information on western grebe populations in Alberta. If you visit any of the lakes listed below, or know anyone that does, we would appreciate as much detail as you can collect on the presence of western grebes and their habitat. Let us know in advance (if possible) if you are planning on going to any lakes, and when you do, e-mail details of your observations to [email protected]. SURVEY METHODS: Visit a lake between 1 May and 31 August with spotting scope or good binoculars. Surveys can be done from a boat, or vantage point(s) from shore. Report names of surveyors, dates, number of adults seen, and report on the approximate percentage of the lake area that this number represents. Record presence of young birds or nesting colonies, and provide any additional information on presence/location of likely breeding habitat, specific parts of the lake observed, observed threats to birds or habitat (boat traffic, shoreline clearing, pollution, etc.). Please report on findings even if no birds were seen. Lakes on the following page that are flagged with an asterisk (*) were not visited in 2015, and are priority for survey in 2016.

    Hay River Watershed Report Draft Final Report June 2017.Docx

    Literature Review Local and Traditional Knowledge In the Peel River Watershed ______________________________________ Kristine Wray University of Alberta December 2016 SUMMARY POINTS The Hay River Basin has played a vital role in the social, economic, and cultural well-being of many Aboriginal peoples. Given their reliance on and stewardship of its resources, many Aboriginal peoples have developed valuable knowledge about the state of the basin that can contribute to our understanding of historic and contemporary issues of planning, management and monitoring. The Hay River drainage basin is a part of the Mackenzie River system, which drains into the Arctic Ocean, drawing water from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and the Northwest Territories. “Kátło’dehé is the South Slavey Dene name for the Hay River, or an earlier spelling Xatlo Dehe” or from the K’átł’odeeche First Nation report, K’átł’odee ‘willow grass river’, referring to the origins of the river in Hay Lakes, northern Alberta, which is a prairie-like area. In Chipewyan, the Hay River is Hátł’oresche. In Cree, it is Maskosï-Sïpiy” (AANDC 2014). The Hay River is named for the abundant hay fields, which were nourished by the floods periodically experienced at the river mouth, which also brings driftwood into the Great Slave Lake (Piper 2009: 261). The Hay River Basin is considered to have been home to at least six Aboriginal groups: the Sekani, Dane-zaa, Dene Tha’, Dene, Métis, and the Woodland Cree. Each has their own cultural belief systems as well as systems of knowledge and practice that has led to the development of local and traditional knowledge about the Hay River Basin.

    Biophysical Inventory of Chinchaga Wildland Park

    BIOPHYSICAL INVENTORY OF CHINCHAGA WILDLAND PARK Prepared By: Dennis O’Leary Amit Saxena Craig DeCoursey Geowest Environmental Consultants Ltd. Edmonton, AB Submitted to: Alberta Community Development Parks and Protected Areas Valleyview, AB March 15, 2002 Biophysical Survey of Chinchaga Wildland Park EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Chinchaga Wildland Park is one of Alberta’s newest additions to the protected areas network. The greater Chinchaga area was identified in 1995 as an Environmentally Significant Area in the Foothills Natural Region of Alberta. A portion of the area was subsequently designated as a Wildland Park in December 1999. With its current boundaries, Chinchaga Wildland Park encompasses approximately 800 km2 (80,000 hectares) of wilderness in a disjunct outlier of the Foothills Natural Region in northwest Alberta. The Chinchaga River itself forms the Park’s northern boundary, extending south to the slopes of Halverson Ridge. Elevations in the Park range from 650 m adjacent to the Chinchaga River to 915 m at the height of land atop Halverson Ridge. Located approximately 100 km west of Manning, Chinchaga Wildland Park is extremely isolated and remote. There is no formal road access into or within the Park, however considerable oil and gas exploration activity in the past has resulted in a network of seismic lines that can, and are, traversed by 4x4 vehicles. The Park is predominantly in the Lower Foothills Natural Subregion, but also includes portions of the Upper Foothills Natural Subregion (in the extreme southeast, at the slopes of Halverson Ridge). Vegetation in most of the Park is a combination of typical foothills vegetation and vegetation influenced by surrounding boreal forest environments.

    University of Alberta River Ice Breakup Forecasting Using Artificial Neural

    University of Alberta River ice breakup forecasting using artificial neural networks and fuzzy logic systems by Liming Zhao A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Water Resources Engineering Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering ©Liming Zhao Fall 2012 Edmonton, Alberta Permission is hereby granted to the University of Alberta Libraries to reproduce single copies of this thesis and to lend or sell such copies for private, scholarly or scientific research purposes only.

Abstract Due to the complexity of breakup ice jam processes deterministic modelling cannot yet forecast every aspect of the timing and severity of possible consequent flooding, especially when some lead-time is needed. In most northern regions, the sparse network and short record of data have impeded the successful development of empirical and statistical models. In this study, a multi-layer modeling approach was investigated for forecasting breakup ice jam flooding using the two soft computing techniques: artificial neural networks and fuzzy logic systems. The Town of Hay River in NWT, Canada was chosen as the case study site, where the breakup ice jam flooding is an annual threat.
