This report summarizes the work that was completed by NRCan personnel and project partners at eleven study sites within Quebec and Labrador between July 22 and August 2, 2019. This work was conducted...
For reclaimed lands to be considered self-sustaining they should respond to natural and anthropogenic disturbances in a similar manner to how an analogous undisturbed landscape might respond
Develop common understanding of the current knowledge regarding groundwater resources, groundwater-surface water interactions in the oil sands area, ongoing applied research, monitoring and impacts
Road networks, both temporary and permanent, are necessary for accessing natural resources in the boreal forest. Forest roads can alter hydrology by 1) affecting the movement of water 2) reducing the...
presents the summary of water quality in the Athabasca River during six sampling surveys (including a site at Fort McMurray, Tar Island, above G.G.O.S.)
Water quality in the Athabasca River and tributaries was found to be generally acceptable throughout the winter of 1969/70. However, relatively high odor and colour values were observed on occasions
Consultants were requested to carry out preliminary studies to determine the technical feasibility and estimated cost of constructing a dam on the Athabasca River in the vicinity of Crooked Rapids.

Research has shown forest surface soil provides an economical, diverse and abundant source of native propagules and an important source of nutrients and soil fauna. Salvage depth affects soil quality
Survey demonstrated need to better communicate availability of existing information and continue to make efforts to provide easy, timely and transparent access to monitoring and research information
Winter planting of frozen black spruce seedlings was studied in a northern Alberta wetland supported by the Oil Sand Leadership Initiative (OSLI) Land Stewardship Working Group, comprised of...
Investigators have speculated that the climate-driven “greening of the Arctic” may benefit barren-ground caribou populations, but paradoxically many populations have declined in recent years. This...
Although hundreds of off-site and exotic tree plantations have been established in British Columbia since the 1950s, there is a lack of current information on their survival and condition. In this...
