Integrating strategic environmental assessment and cumulative effects assessment in Canada
(2009)
In Canada, interest in regional strategic environmental assessment as a framework for assessing cumulative environmental effects is growing. Strategic environmental assessment, and in particular regional strategic environmental ...
Evaluating public transit accessibility to employment : the case of Ottawa, Canada
(2004-04-08)
The purpose of this study was to address the need for a straightforward and practical tool for evaluating public transit accessibility to places of employment. The need for such a study stems from the widespread adoption ...
Variability in wild rice morphology and development in Northern Saskatchewan, 1986
(1994)
The production of wild rice in the natural lakes and streams of
Saskatchewan's north has become a viable and rapidly growing industry over
the last few decades. However, little information exists regarding the
plant's ...
Topographic parameterization in regional and continental scale hydrology
(2002)
The focus of this thesis is on the effects of spatial scale on the parameterization of
regional and continental scale drainage basins for surface hydrologic applications.
Specifically, this thesis investigates the impact ...
Snow line mapping using radar imagery, Place Glacier, B.C.
(1995)
This thesis evaluates the effectiveness of ERS-1 synthetic aperture radar
(SAR) imagery for mapping movement of the transient snow line in the Place Glacier
basin during an ablation season. Hydrological models of mountainous ...
Variability of soil erodibility: its relationship to topography and soil properties in cultivated landscape
(1989)
The hypothesis of this thesis is that soil erodibility varies systematically with
landscape topography. This hypothesis was tested by using a portable rainfall
simulator to measure the relative soil erodibility at five ...
Possible teleconnections between North Pacific sea surface temperatures and extended dry spells and droughts on the Canadian Praries
(1991)
This thesis examines the possible teleconnections
between North Pacific sea surface temperatures and synoptic
extended dry spells and droughts on the canadian Prairies.
Dry spells are a natural occurrence on the Canadian ...
An Evaluation of habitat potential for wild rice (Zizania palustris L.) in Northern Saskatchewan
(1985)
A multifaceted approach was used to obtain a first
approximation of the distribution of capability, within the
297,000 km2 northern Saskatchewan
rice. Significant differences

Synoptic climatological aspects of summer Dry Spells in the Canadian Praries
(1973)
This is an attempt to measure the frequency of summer Dry Spells over
the Canadian Prairies and to discover their possible causes. Statistical
and synoptic climatological techniques are used as tools in the analysis
and ...
Patterns of bar development and sand flat initiation in the South Saskatchewan River
(1990)
This is a study of the development of bars and the
initiation of sand flats in a braided sand-bed river. The changes in
morphology, flow direction and hydraulic character on the surface of
bars are documented. This ...
