Northwest Territories
Collaboratively forecasting landscape change and population dynamics of barren-ground caribou
ALCES PopDyn is being used for collaborative assessment of barren-ground caribou population dynamics in the Northwest Territories.
Where ALCES is applied
Regional Assessment
Simulating the impacts of development, climate change, and mitigation strategies on wildlife and ecosystem services. This work is often done in collaboration with government and co-management agencies to inform planning.
Examples
Much of our work is confidential to the clients who commission it. The projects below are a selection that we are able to discuss publicly.
Alberta
Grizzly bear connectivity, Bow Valley
The use of ALCES to assess connectivity for grizzly bears in Alberta’s Bow Valley is described in an article in the journal Environmental Management.
Alberta
Dose-response curves for trout
The use of ALCES to apply dose-response curves when assessing cumulative impacts to trout is described in a report released by the Alberta Chapter of the Wildlife Society.
Manitoba
Riding Mountain National Park vegetation modelling
The use of ALCES to explore fire and vegetation dynamics in the park to inform management actions such as the use of prescribed fire.
New Brunswick
Natural climate solutions scenario analysis
The use of ALCES to assess the effect of land management scenarios on ecosystem carbon to inform net zero pathway recommendations.
Ontario
Regional assessment of cumulative effects on moose, wolf, and caribou populations in the Ring of Fire
Integrated landscape and population simulations to assess the effects of development, climate change, and species interactions on the moose, wolf, and caribou predator-prey system.
International
LANDMARC
ALCES was part of a suite of computer models used to assess the impact of land-based climate mitigation technologies in international case studies.
