Circulation of Water and Sediment in the Athabasca Delta Area
Resource
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)
Clay Tailings from Alberta Oil Sands and Other Sources. A Review
Resource
Treatment and disposal procedures for oil sands tailings, as well as for clay tailings from other industries, are discussed and general background to the disposal problems is provided
Climate, Land Cover and Topography: Essential Ingredients in Predicting Wetland Permanence
Resource
Wetlands in the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) are forecast to retract in their ranges due to climate change, and potholes that typically contain ponded water year-round, which support a larger...
CO2 Uptake Decreased and CH4 Emissions Increased in First Two Years of Peatland Seismic Line Restoration
Resource
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
Commercializing Remote Sensing Technology for Environmental Management: Moving from Data to Decision
Resource
The development of integrated geomatics and remote sensing technologies for environmental management holds promise to meet economic diversification and effective environmental management.
Community Level Physiological Profiling for Monitoring Oil Sands Impacts
Resource
Objective of the project was to better understand and describe the potential for CLPP to provide meaningful assessments of aquatic ecosystems in the oil sands region of Alberta to various stakeholders
Comparison of Sampling Techniques to Monitor Stream Amphibian Communities in Forested Regions of Alberta
Resource
Objective was to compare the effectiveness of four commonly used sampling techniques (pitfall traps, funnel traps, visual searches and call surveys) to detect stream amphibian communities.
Comprehensive Report on Operational Reclamation Techniques in the Mineable Oil Sands Region
Resource
This report identifies and summarizes reclamation practices that have been used in the mineable Oil Sands region and coal mining industry over the last 40+ years.
Consistent but Delayed Timing of Precipitation Affects Community Composition of Prairie Pothole Birds and Aquatic Macroinvertebrates, but not Wetland Plants
Resource
The hydroperiod (i.e., the length of time ponded water is present) of prairie potholes is sensitive to climate change. Because snowmelt runoff is the largest contributor to ponded water amounts, a...
Controls on Plot-Scale Growing Season CO2 and CH4 Fluxes in Restored Peatlands: Do They Differ From Unrestored and Natural Sites?
Resource
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
Creating a Knowledge Platform for the Reclamation and Restoration Ecology Community: Expanding the OSRIN Model Beyond the Oil Sands
Resource
One of the core mandates for the Oil Sands Research and Information Network (OSRIN) was to enhance access to oil sands environmental management information. With OSRIN’s mandate ending December 31...
Densified Fluid Fine Tails and Oil Sands Process Water - an Extension of the 2017 Study - Final Report
Resource
A mesocosm study was undertaken to support the development of end pit lake technology. The mesocosms were exposed to OSPW (Oil Sands Process affected Water) and dFFT (densified Fluid Fine Tails).
Densified Fluid Fine Tails and Oil Sands Process Water: A Screening Study - Final Report - Study Plan Number: MES-2017-1
Resource
This study utilized mesocosms to investigate the effects of oil sands process water (OSPW) and densified fluid fine tails (dFFT) on aquatic ecosystems to support development of end pit lake technology
Determining Sustainable Levels of Cumulative Effects for Boreal Caribou
Resource

Developing Allometric Equations for Estimating Shrub Biomass in a Boreal Fen
Resource
This study develops allometric equations for three dominant genera found in boreal fens: Alnus spp. (alder), Salix spp. (willow) and Betula pumila (bog birch).
Development and Application of Soil Quality Criteria for Alberta's Resource Extraction Industries
Resource
Soil quality criteria for Alberta's resource extraction industries were prepared by the Soil Quality Criteria Subcommittee of the Alberta Soils Advisory Committee. The document produced was intended...
Development of a Toxin-Mediated Predator-Prey Model Applicable to Aquatic Environments in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region
Resource
Previous work has considered the effect of a toxin on the population dynamics of a single trophic level, such as fish, we focus on the impacts of toxins on the population dynamics of aquatic food webs
Development of Three Slender Wheatgrass Reclamation Varieties
Resource
Three mid- to high-elevation lines of slender wheatgrass were selected and released as varieties for use in reclamation
