The Cumulative Effects Management Association (CEMA) 2006-2008
CEMA (www.cemaonline.ca) represents a comprehensive multi-stakeholder initiative (industry, First Nations, government, environmental groups) that has the important mandate of assessing the ecological impacts of the massive oilsand industry of northeast Alberta. CEMA is comprised of several working groups, including the Sustainable Ecosystems Working Group (SEWG). As part of SEWG's mandate in exploring the interface between the oilsands industry and environmental indicators, the ALCES Group was selected to use the ALCES simulator to simulate this regional landscape in response to alternative oilsand and forestry land use trajectores.
