InnoTech Alberta is scoping an applied research program to address challenges related to the reclamation and remediation of salt-affected sites in Alberta. InnoTech has a long history of supporting...
Selection for Forage and Avoidance of Risk by Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) at Coarse and Local Scales
Resource
The relationship between selection at coarse and fine spatiotemporal spatial scales is still poorly understood. Some authors claim that, to accommodate different needs at different scales, individuals...

Soil Moisture and Bulk Density Monitoring at Syncrude Canada Ltd.
Resource
Results of the research indicate that current reclamation practices are appropriate for providing soil moisture to support vegetation covers.
Soil Physical Properties in Reclamation
Resource
To provide coordinated direction for reclamation research in Alberta, the need to review the current understanding and the role of soil physical properties in soil disturbance related activities was...
Soils Inventory of the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program Study Area
Resource
Recurring patterns of soils, landforms, and vegetation were delineated. The information was transferred first to 1:50,000 preliminary maps and then to eight 1:126,720 maps which accompany this report
Soils Inventory of the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program Study Area: Appendix 9.4 to AOSERP Report 122
Resource
Soil morphology, site descriptions, and physical and chemical data for 130 soil profiles from the AOSERP study area are presented.
Soils of Permanent Sample Plots in the Athabasca Oil Sands Area
Resource
Provide information on the kinds, characteristics, and distribution of soils in 16 permanent sample plots, each of about 5 ha area, established during 1981
Space-use Behaviour of Woodland Caribou Based on a Cognitive Movement Model
Resource
Movement patterns offer a rich source of information on animal behaviour and the ecological significance of landscape attributes. This is especially useful for species occupying remote landscapes...
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...
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...
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.
