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.
State-Of-The-Art Above Ground Mesocosm Facility
Resource
The InnoTech/UofA above ground mesocosm facility enables configurable, innovative approaches for assessing potential environmental and ecological impacts of industrial activities
Strategies for Evaluating the Effectiveness of Reclamation Successes on Native Landscapes
Resource
This study examined three pervasive issues that impacted native ecosystems. Numerous land use practices including oil and gas activities have led to the modification of native grasslands both the...
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...
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...

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 Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Program: Monitoring Aquatic Systems
Resource
Protocols for sampling biotic and abiotic parameters in large lakes, large rivers, wetlands, and streams in Alberta is provided. Estimates of time costs are given.
The Alberta Boreal Deer Project
Project
Contact
Alberta’s woodland caribou populations are declining, and wolf predation is considered a primary cause (Wittmer et al. 2005). Predation increases where seismic line density is high (ASRD 2010), so...
The Alberta Boreal Deer Project: 2013 Report to PTAC
Resource
Woodland caribou are declining in Alberta’s northeast, and increased predation following elevated wolf densities is implicated. Wolf numbers are increasing in part due to white-tailed deer, which...
The Appropriateness of Using Aquatic Snails as Bioindicators of Toxicity for Oil Sands Process-Affected Water
Resource
Overall, the literature supports the potential for aquatic snails to act as bioindicators of toxicity associated with oil sands process-affected-water exposure.
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 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 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 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 Importance of Continuous Dialogue in Community-Based Wildlife Monitoring: Case Studies of Dzan and łuk Dagaii in the Gwich’in Settlement Area
Resource
Rapid environmental change in the Arctic elicits numerous concerns for ecosystems, natural resources, and ways of life. Robust monitoring is essential to adaptation and management in light of these...
