Our Collaborators
Our Delivery Partners
Our staff and operations are distributed among three delivery partners.
The ABMI would not be possible without the strong support from our partners at InnoTech Alberta, the University of Alberta, and the University of Calgary.
This showcase of collaboration allows us to capitalize on inherent strengths offered by each delivery partner to deliver wide-ranging and comprehensive biodiversity monitoring. We have master operating agreements with our delivery partners that clearly define the respective roles, responsibilities, financial relationships, and performance commitments to be assumed by the partners.
The University of Alberta (U of A) provides capacity for the ABMI in a number of functional areas and allows us to create key partnerships in the university environment. The U of A houses and supports the ABMI’s Executive Office and our Science, Information, Geospatial, Processing, and Operations Centres in the Centennial Centre for Interdisciplinary Science.
Our Monitoring Centre is located at the InnoTech Alberta offices in Vegreville. Staff in the Monitoring Centre coordinate field work in terrestrial and aquatic habitats throughout the year, be it installing remote cameras in a targeted study area or visiting one of our Ecosystem Health Program sites. Field crews also use the Government of Alberta regional facilities as bases for the data collection.
The University of Calgary (U of C) has a long-standing research agreement with the ABMI. We work collaboratively to identify research projects of mutual benefit that serve our strategic priorities. Previous and ongoing research includes the use of remote sensing and geospatial technologies for determining vegetation recovery on human-disturbed sites and for assessing rangeland conditions.
