This project was initiated to integrate different modeling tools and approaches for assessing cumulative effects on barren-ground caribou. Our approach was to integrate different types of information and link modeling techniques that have been used previously to explore habitat selection (resource selection functions), energetic intake and expenditure, and land-use dynamics and simulation, and to refine those tools for understanding cumulative effects of mines and other developments in the Bathurst caribou herd’s summer range.
