Describe how water and sediment from the Athabasca River are distributed through the delta system and how they circulate and mix in Lake Athabasca and flow through to the Slave River (re contaminants)
Climatological analysis of recent data from the MAPS network of automatic meteorological data acquisition, forestry lookout stations, minisondes, pack surveys, and the Fort McMurray station
Control rodent damage by: (1) Planting trees and shrubs when rodent numbers are at the low or declining phase of their cycle, and (2) Manipulating rodent numbers by manipulating vegetative cover.
Several field investigations were carried out to determine the amounts of sulphur deposited in rain, in rain washing off trees, and by direct absorption of SO2 by soil
Soils sampled at sites 2.3 and 5.3 km south of the Great Canadian Oil Sands (GCOS) plant, Fort McMurray, respectively were found to differ statistically with reference to several macronutrients
Synthesis of the published literature on the habitat preferences of beavers, muskrats, mink and river otters. Field studies during the late autumn of 1978 included aerial surveys and track counts
There was only very limited evidence of biological responses to increased pollutant content in spite of significantly higher pollutant levels in tissues close to existing industrial developments.
Classification system devised for mapping vegetation and surficial geology from 1:60,000 scale false colour infrared photographs; 1:50 000 base maps plus a vegetation and a surficial geology overlay
Ground surveys of vegetation and surficial geology generally confirmed that the classification systems used in the mapping accurately described and defined the ecological habitat features
Objective to evaluate the streamflow, suspended sediment, lake level, and water quality networks in the AOSERP study area so as to provide the basis for continuation and/or redirection.
General objective of this study was to describe the baseline states of the fish component of the MacKay River watershed, the largest basin on the west side of the Athabasca River
Baseline states and aquatic habitats of major components of aquatic ecosystems in the southern portion of the AOSERP study area. Quantitative estimate of biological significance to the Athabasca River
The fish populations of the Athabasca River downstream of Fort McMurray were sampled during the open-water period in 1976 and 1977. Twenty-seven fish species were identified from the Athabasca River,
Results of work done in 1976, the first year of a two-year study intended to evaluate and describe the baseline state of the fish resources of the Athabasca River downstream of Fort McMurray
During 1977, the second year of a two-year study, the fish populations of the Athabasca Rive: were investigated in two general areas downstream of Fort McMurray from mid-April to early November
Summary of the meteorological data collected by the meteorological tower network in the Gregoire Lake region of northeast Alberta during the spring and summer of 1979 to monitor impact of Amoco plant
