Heavy Metal Dynamics in the Athabasca River: Sediment Concentrations Prior to Major Alberta Oil Sands Development
Resource
To document the natural heavy metal geochemistry of the sediment and to assess cultural influences if any on concentrations. Absolute concentrations are low compared to data for polluted sediments
Heavy Metals in Bottom Sediments of the Mainstem Athabasca River System in the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Dredged sediments and sediment cores were collected from sites along the Athabasca River system from between Fort McMurray and the confluence of Riviere des Rochers with the Slave River
How Woodland Caribou use Post-fire Landscapes in Northeastern Alberta
Resource
To examine the effects of forest fires on woodland caribou, we collected GPS location data on five caribou ranges in northeastern Alberta.
Human Health Monitoring Program: A Summary of Findings and Recommendations
Resource
Data base and a series of maps on where certain diseases, conditions and visits to physicians and hospitals were reported. Assembling an extensive environmental data base was more difficult than expec
Human System Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program 1975-1980: An Integration and Synthesis of Research Results
Resource
Describe, ananlyse, and interpret the socio-economic changes which had occurred in Fort McMurray from development of Suncor and Syncrude operations and assess changes in relation to development stages
Hydrotechnical Research in the Alberta Oil Sands
Resource
Hydrotechnical research in the Alberta Oil Sands has been oriented toward establishment of baseline (pre-development) environmental conditions and identification of contaminant transport mechanisms
Impact of Air Pollutant Mixtures on Forest Vegetation and Soils
Resource
No impact on jack pine physiology was found when concentrations of the dominant pollutants from Oil Sands operations equivalent to 104 years of soluble disposition were added to intact soil cores
Increasing Contributions of Peatlands to Boreal Evapotranspiration in a Warming Climate
Resource
The response of evapotranspiration (ET) to warming is of critical importance to the water and carbon cycle of the boreal biome, a mosaic of land cover types dominated by forests and peatlands. The...
Information Requirements for Regulated Pipelines
Resource
This document Is a guideline for the preparation of a Development and Reclamation (D & R) Application for a regulated pipeline
Insects on the Suncor Dike, a Survey of the Types Present and an Evaluation of their Effects on Dike Vegetation
Resource
Representatives of 50 insect families were collected in sweep net samples, and additional families were observed to be present on the Suncor dike. Insect attacks were severe on conifer trees
In-situ Recovery Process Fluids
Resource
Heavy oils produced from the Alberta oil sands contain cyclic organic compounds together with sulphur and nitrogen. Upon thermal treatment they have potential to form carcinogenic, mutagenic, and toxi
Interim Compilation of 1976 Suspended Sediment Data for the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
This report contains all the available suspended sediment discharge information for 1976 that was collected by Water Survey of Canada and by Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program (AOSERP)...
Interim Compilation of 1977 Suspended Sediment Data for the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
This compilation report contains all the available 1977 suspended sediment concentration and particle size data collected in the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program study area.
Interim Compilation of Stream Gauging Data, 1979
Resource
Contains all available 1979 hydrometric data including daily discharges for streamflow stations with corresponding hydrographs and stage-discharge curves and water level information for gauged lakes.
Interim Report II: Baseline States of Small Mammal Populations in the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Changes in the demography and habitat use of three small rodent species (Clethrionomys gapperi, Microtus pennsylvanicus and Peromyscus maniculatus) and snowshoe hares (Lepus americanus) were monitored
Interim Report of Soil Research Related to Revegetation of the Oil Sands Area
Resource
Growth of grasses and legumes in tailings sand, and the effect of adding materials such as peat and glacial till to tailings sand, were studied using lysimeters both indoors and in the field.
Interim Report on a Comparative Study of Benthic Algal Primary Productivity in the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Largest mean standing crops for the June to November period occurred in the Steepbank, Ells, and Hangingstone Rivers, while largest mean production rates occurred in the Ells and Muskeg rivers.
Interim Report on a Hydrogeological Investigation of the Muskeg River Basin, Alberta
Resource
12 to 40.% of streamflow during the late spring, summer and fall months consists of groundwater; the remainder comes from lake and muskeg drainage, as well as direct precipitation on stream channels
Interim Report on a Soils Inventory in the Athabasca Oil Sands Area
Resource
About 150 townships were field checked during the summer field season, and samples were taken from 44 mineral and 20 organic soil profiles
