Species Distribution and Habitat Relationships of Waterfowl in Northeastern Alberta
Resource
Spring-staging totals for two surveys for this year were 1000 and 3600 ducks. Five fall-staging surveys revealed a total of from 11 000 to 24 000 ducks.
Studies in Recolonization of Stream Substrates by Aquatic Organisms
Resource
Colonization of limestone gravel, limestone gravel + organic matter, and limestone gravel from a river bed was followed over time to compare two possible stream reclamation substrates with a control
Subsurface Water Chemistry in Mined Land Reclamation; Key to Development of a Productive Post-mining Landscape
Resource
In reconstructing the landscape during reclamation the sequence and methods of placement of overburden material determine the post-mining subsurface-water chemistry. The type of material at various...
Successful Landscape Manipulation in the Urban Fringe - From a Gravel Pit to a Lake
Resource
Reclamation in the 1990s is contingent upon whatever we, as professionals, learn from our reclamation experience in the 1970s and 1980s and our abilities to improve on future reclamation efforts. We...
Surface Reclamation Situations and Practices on Coal Exploration and Surface Mine Sites at Sparwood, B.C.
Resource
Kaiser Resources Ltd. owns and operates a 5 million ton per year open pit and hydraulic coal mine near Sparwood in Southeastern British Columbia. Since 1969, Kaiser has maintained a field scale...
Sustaining Forest Productivity Through Soil Quality Standards: A Coordinated U.S. Effort
Resource
Along with water and air, soil is the most fundamental of resources. This unconsolidated skin of the earth is the source from which many other resources and our most valued commodities flow. And along...
Symposium Summary
Resource
What is successful reclamation? Government and industry officials have agreed that successful reclamation is to restore land to former or equivalent capability. For agriculture or forestry this would...
Synopsis Report 2018/19 Arctic Caribou Contaminant Monitoring Program
Resource
This project studies contaminant levels in caribou in the Canadian Arctic to determine if these populations remain healthy (in terms of contaminant loads), whether these important resources remain...
Systems Inventory of Surficial Disturbance, Peace River Coal Block, B.C.
Resource
The Peace River Coal Block in B.C. extends a distance of 150 miles from the Williston reservoir to the Alberta border. Approximately seven hundred and fifty Coal Licences are involved, each one mile...
Tactical Departures and Strategic Arrivals: Divergent Effects of Climate and Weather on Caribou Spring Migrations
Resource
A 2019 academic paper that looks at factors affecting caribou migration timing and speed. The paper concludes that later arrival at calving grounds might indicate that females are in worse condition...

The Acute Toxicity of Saline Groundwater and of Vanadium to Fish and Aquatic Invertebrates
Resource
Purpose of this project was to provide detailed information regarding the acute toxicity this mine depressurization water to both fish and invertebrates.
The Biophysical Climate Mitigation Potential of Boreal Peatlands During the Growing Season
Resource
Peatlands and forests cover large areas of the boreal biome and are critical for global climate regulation. They also regulate regional climate through heat and water vapour exchange with the...
The Boreal-Arctic Wetland and Lake Dataset
Resource
Here we present the Boreal–Arctic Wetland and Lake Dataset (BAWLD), a land cover dataset based on an expert assessment, extrapolated using random forest modelling from available spatial datasets of...
The Climatology of the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program Study Area
Resource
Winters are cold with relatively little snow. About two-thirds of the precipitation falls in the summer months with several major rainstorms generally accounting for much of the seasonal rain
The Development and Reclamation Review Process
Resource
The Development and Reclamation Review process, as it currently operates, is presented and discussed with the aid of a flow chart. Suggestions are made to improve and expedite the process with...
The Direct and Habitat-mediated Influence of Climate on the Biogeography of Boreal Caribou in Canada
Resource
Effective species conservation efforts require insight into whether a species’ extent of occurrence may shift due to changing climate, habitat loss, or both. The extent of occurrence of the threatened...
The Distribution, Foraging Behaviour, and Allied Activities of the White Pelican in the Athabasca Oil Sands Area
Resource
From mid to late summer 1977 an investigation was made of the distribution and foraging of White Pelicans in the Birch Mountains linked with a breeding investigation undertaken at the pelican rookery
The Distribution of Nutrients and Organic Matter in Native Mountain Grasslands and Reclaimed Coal-mined Areas in Southeastern B.C.
Resource
The study's purpose is to assess the nutrient self-sufficiency of five-year-old reclaimed areas in montane and subalpine environments. Adjacent, undisturbed native grasslands were also studied for...
