Soils
Soil structure, stability and productivity are all subjects that have been researched under the Bulkley Valley Research Centre. In 2013, Hillslope and Fluvial Processes Along the Proposed Pipeline Corridor, Burns Lake to Kitimat, West Central British Columbia by James W. Schwab was submitted as evidence in the Enbridge Northern Gateway hearings.
