Landscapes in Motion is a project that moves fast. Stay tuned for News, Events, and Updates.
We spent a lot of this summer talking about what our field crews were up to. But what comes next? For the Fire Regime Team, there is more to come as they begin to process the samples they collected this summer.
Read MoreOn Wednesday, September 12, Landscapes in Motion hosted its first-ever field tour. Read on to learn more about what we talked about, saw, and heard over the day.
Read MoreAn important part of a researcher’s job is to learn more about what other scientists are doing in different institutions, fields, and ecosystems, and stay up-to-date on what they’re discovering. This pursuit of connections and knowledge-sharing took Ceres Barros to New Orleans for the Ecological Society of America’s annual meeting - find out what she presented and learned while she was there!
Read MoreThe Repeat Photography Field Crew has been hard at work scaling mountains to capture repeat photographs of images taken a century ago. They’ve checked in to let us know how things are going so far… and it sounds pretty spectacular.
Read MoreCameron Naficy, one of our key Landscapes in Motion researchers, will be presenting at a public event in Waterton Townsite on July 24, 2018. Read on to learn more!

Read MoreMeet the four intrepid field crew members who will be hiking all over Alberta’s southern Rockies, collecting tree-ring, fire scar, and vegetation structure data under Cameron Naficy’s supervision.
Read MoreSummer is here, and that means the Landscapes in Motion field crews are hitting the road to begin the data collection process in Alberta’s southern Rockies. Sonia Voicescu and Karson Sudlow will be capturing repeat photographs with Julie Fortin of the Oblique Photography Team and Mountain Legacy Project over the next few months, and they can’t wait to reach that first mountain peak.
Read MoreCongratulations are in order for Cameron Naficy, who has been awarded a Mitacs Elevate grant! Find out how this two-year grant will help Cameron in his work with Landscapes in Motion.
Read MoreAs the Oblique Photography team prepares to head out into the field, they are training new field staff how to find the locations where land surveyors once stood to photograph the landscape. Sometimes it’s a bit more complicated (see our last blog post!), but sometimes there is a nice, friendly marker left behind by surveyors of the past…
Read MoreThe landscapes of the southern Rockies of Alberta have a long and complex natural and cultural history. Prominent in that history is the role of forest fires. Fire has been, and remains today, a necessary and critical part of the long-term health and sustainability of these landscapes. The goal of this project is to advance our understanding of how, where, and when historical wildfires occur, and the implications of those dynamics.
