Feb 19, 2013British ColumbiaHoward Johnson Hotel, 4670 Elk Lake Dr, Victoria, BCVancouver Island Section Technical Luncheon - 12:00 noon - 1:45 pm
Dave Polster, M.Sc., R.P. Bio., will show how natural processes can be applied to the restoration of sites that humans have disturbed. This talk will look at common constraints/barriers to ecological recovery - erosion, competition, compaction, low nutrients, etc. - and how natural systems solve these problems. Soil bioengineering techniques for the treatment of landslides, steep, unstable and/or eroding sites will be presented as a means of integrating steep and/or unstable slopes into these natural processes.

Mar 27, 2013SaskatchewanU of S Agriculture Bldg, 12:00 PM, Room 2E17 Saskatoon CGS Section Short Course - Analyzing the Effect of Climate Change on Soil Cover Performance
Soil-atmospheric models represent one of the tools that can be used to predict the long-term performance of soil cover systems. The current study demonstrates how global climate change models can be used to prepare weather datasets for use in soil-atmospheric modeling. A comparison between soil cover performance based on historical and future weather is presented for a site in northern Canada.		Contact k.pardoski@machibroda.com
