Oil sands and biodiversity monitoring

Monday, November 17, 2014

Dr. Rooney just returned from presenting at a Cumulative Environmental Management Association Integrated Task Group info session on monitoring biodiversity as part of oil sands mine reclamation. While there, she had a request for the handbook and companion video that she co-authored, which describes in detail how to apply the multi-metric assessment tools she and colleagues at the University of Alberta designed for reclaimed wetland monitoring and evaluation.  For anyone interested, that handbook document is available online and the companion video can be found here.  The intention was the the video could be viewed in short segments in the field, and so nine individual "chapters" are also posted to youtube here.
