The 1977 Fort McMurray AOSERP Moose Census: Analysis and Interpretation of Results
Resource
The 1977 moose population of 320 moose was contained in an estimated 196 groups distributed on 23 percent of the square-mile study area quadrats at the time of census (363± 30% estimated in 1976)
The 1981 Snowpack Survey in the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
The amounts of sulphate and nitrate deposited in the snow within 25 km of the oil sands plants have increased by 88 and 27% respectively, since the previous study in 1978
The Acute Toxicity of Saline Groundwater and of Vanadium to Fish and Aquatic Invertebrates

The Assimilative Capacity of the Athabasca River for Organic Compounds
Resource
Provide a problem analysis of the goal to determine the assimilative capacity of the Athabasca River with special regard to organics
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 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 Ecology of Five Major Species of Small Mammals in the AOSERP Study Area: A Review
Resource
The ecology (distribution, demography, habitat preferences and food habits) of five of the species of small mammals common to the Alberta Oil Sands are described
The Ecology of Macrobenthic Invertebrate Communities in Hartley Creek, Northeastern Alberta
Resource
Hartley Creek, a tributary of the Muskeg River, has rich and diverse benthic fauna and is dominated numerically by Chironomidae but by Trichoptera in terms of biomass.
The Effects of Sedimentation on the Aquatic Biota
Resource
Detrimental effects of increased suspended and settled sediments on fish, bottom invertebrates, and primary productivity are documented.
The Evaluation of Wastewaters from an Oil Sand Extraction Plant
Resource
Organic constituents of wastewaters from the existing Athabasca oil sands extraction plant were characterized and quantified. Twenty-one chemical parameters were determined on a total of ten samples
The Feasibility of a Weather Radar Near Fort McMurray, Alberta
Resource
The feasibility of a weather radar to map precipitation in the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program (AOSERP) study area near Fort McMurray, Alberta was investigated
The Impact of Saline Waters upon Freshwater Biota: (A Literature Review and Bibliography)

The Influence of Oil Sands Development on Trapping in the Fort McMurray Region
Resource
Registered trappers were 70 percent native; the average age was 46. The majority held other jobs concurrently, and spent less than two months on the trapline in 1975-76 (a low year on the fur cycle).
