Report: Spatio-Temporal Dynamic Modelling of Mixed-Severity Fire Regimes in the SW Foothills of Alberta

Report: Spatio-Temporal Dynamic Modelling of Mixed-Severity Fire Regimes in the SW Foothills of Alberta

This final report by the Modelling Team describes their rationale and methods to create a partial mortality module that addresses a critical gap in available landscape dynamics models by accounting for partial mortality and potential fire-vegetation feedbacks within the SW Alberta Foothills. The results of their model are presented and implications discussed.

Report: Fire Regime Dynamics of the Southwestern Alberta Foothills

Report: Fire Regime Dynamics of the Southwestern Alberta Foothills

This final report by the Fire Regime Team describes their landscape-scale assessment of fire frequency, severity and age structures for six study areas distributed throughout the montane and lower subalpine zone of the Foothills using dendroecological methods. They describe and contrast the fire regimes and ecological outcomes for the lodgepole pine and Douglas-fir zones of their study sites and implications of these results.

Report: Advances in Visual Applications

This final report by the Visual Applications Team outlines their work, accomplishments and contributions to the Landscapes in Motion project. The report details the steps taken to develop an end-to-end image analysis process for visualizing, classifying, and quantifying landscape change as seen in images from the study area.
