They are working on a project called HEAD which is Hydrology, Ecology And Disturbance in Boreal Wetlands.  They are really studying the mechanics, the nuts and bolts of why wetlands exist  in the boreal forest, in a place that has a moisture deficit.  <\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nResearch from the HEAD project shows that the boreal sports a unique feature.  Water runs uphill.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFor Qualizza\u2019s team, this means designing a fen landscape that supports trees with roots that will transport water from the fen uphill into the upland forest.\n <\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\nThanks today to the <b>Syncrude Canada.<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nLearn more at InnovationAnthology.com\n <\/p>\n<p>\nI&#8217;M CHERYL CROUCHER  <\/b><\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3>Steve Herman, <\/h3>\n<h4>Water Next &#8211; Western Canada&#8217;s Water Accelerator, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.syncrude.com\">Syncrude<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/innovationanthology.com\/uploads\/SyncrudeLogo.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Date:<\/strong>\u00a02008-10-16<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The next project for <b>Syncrude\u2019s reclamation<\/b> research team is the reconstruction of a <b>fen watershed.<\/b>   A fen is one type of peatland in the boreal forest of northeastern Alberta.
