Assessing the status of the Peace-Athabasca delta ecosystem: challenging the paradigm from a paleoenvironmental perspective / Brent B. Wolfe, Roland I. Hall, Thomas W.D. Edwards.
Title: | Assessing the status of the Peace-Athabasca delta ecosystem: challenging the paradigm from a paleoenvironmental perspective / Brent B. Wolfe, Roland I. Hall, Thomas W.D. Edwards. |
Author(s): | Wolfe, Brent B. Hall, Roland I. Edwards, Thomas W. D. |
Date: | 2006. |
In: | Meridian. (2006.), Fall/Winter (2006) |
Abstract: | Considers multidisciplinary studies of hydrology and ecology of Peace-Athabasca Delta, in particular palaeoenvironmental investigations using state of art palaeolimnological techniques. Contrary to expectations, reconstructions of hydrological and ecological conditions spanning past 300 years provide no compelling evidence to suggest that river flow regulation has had any discernible lasting effects on delta. Changes appear to be driven predominantly by local and regional climatologic variability at inter-annual to decadal time-scales. |
