Description

The Alberta Vegetation Inventory (AVI) is a standardized digital forest inventory product that is used to spatially identify the type, extent and condition of forest vegetation. The AVI is also a detailed, spatially-explicit standard to assist in the decision-making process for forest management planning, wildfire management, wildlife habitat classification, ecological classification and integrated resource management activities. The establishment of AVI standards helps ensure data quality, consistency, and compatibility with Government of Alberta forest inventory database architecture, as the responsibility to acquire AVI data is shared between forest management agreement holders and the Province.

Description

This document is a standard operating procedure for measuring Sulphur Dioxide concentration in ambient air environment. The use of the ultraviolet fluorescence SO2 analyzers technology for measuring ambient SO2 is the basis of this SOP. Staff from Alberta Environment and Parks, Airsheds and other organizations across Alberta monitoring SO2 concentration under the Joint Canada-Alberta Implementation Plan for Oil Sands Monitoring will benefit from this SOP. The SOP also ensures consistency and comparability of SO2 data collected across monitoring programs across Alberta. Future revisions to this SOP will reflect any technology updates.

Quantification protocol for engine fuel management and vent gas capture. Version 2.0

Description

This protocol quantifies greenhouse gas reductions that result from two related activities: the improvement in the fuel efficiency of natural gas combustion engines, and the capture of gases... More ≫

Description

This protocol quantifies greenhouse gas reductions that result from two related activities: the improvement in the fuel efficiency of natural gas combustion engines, and the capture of gases (primarily methane) normally vented to the atmosphere. The quantification approaches for measuring GHG reductions for both components are based on measurement and monitoring and thus provide a high level of accuracy. The protocol is written for those familiar with the operation of natural gas combustion engines and control systems that manage the fuel consumption for these engines.
