Seasonal Ground Ice Impacts on Spring Ecohydrological Conditions in a Western Boreal Plains Peatland
Resource
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
Source or Sink? Meta-analysis Reveals Diverging Controls of Phosphorus Retention and Release in Restored and Constructed Wetlands
Resource
Wetland restoration is a popular nutrient management strategy for improving water quality in agricultural catchments. However, a wetland’s ability to retain phosphorus is highly variable and wetlands...
Spatial Patterns and Mass Balance of Sodium in Near-surface Peat of a Constructed Fen
Resource
At the Nikanotee Fen Watershed, a pioneering reclamation project in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region, elevated sodium (Na+) in the porewater of mine-waste materials has been shown to migrate to the fen...
Spatial Variation in Nutrient Dynamics Among Five Different Peatland Types in the Alberta Oil Sands Region
Resource
Wetlands are found extensively throughout the Western Boreal Plain, a region under pressure because of disturbance by the oil and gas industries. To understand how wetland systems may respond to...
Sublethal Effects of Parasitism on Ruminants Can Have Cascading Consequences for Ecosystems
Resource
Parasitic infections are common, but how they shape ecosystem-level processes is understudied. Using a mathematical model and meta-analysis, we explored the potential for helminth parasites to trigger...
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...
Summary of 2013 Tailings Technology Development and Commercialization Workshop
Resource
There is no single technology solution for tailings disposal – a suite of technologies will be required For a technology to be considered suitable it must provide net environmental benefits
Summary of Resiliency of Reclaimed Boreal Forest Landscapes Seminar
Resource
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
Summary of the Oil Sands Groundwater – Surface Water Interactions Workshop
Resource
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
Survey of Albertans’ Value Drivers Regarding Oil Sands Development and Reclamation
Resource
A random sample of 1,032 Albertans to gather empirical information as a basis for oil sands policy development for both industry and government
Survey of Oil Sands Environmental Management Research and Information Needs
Resource
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
Synthesis of Toxicological Behavior of Oil Sands Process-Affected Water Constituents
Resource
Review of the adverse effects of individual compounds, or mixtures of compounds, that are present in oil sands process-affected water and/or other oil-related sources.
Temperature, Moisture and Freeze–thaw Controls on CO2 Production in Soil Incubations From Northern Peatlands
Resource
Peat accumulation in high latitude wetlands represents a natural long-term carbon sink, resulting from the cumulative excess of growing season net ecosystem production over non-growing season (NGS)...
The Alberta Oil Sands, Journalists, and Their Sources
Resource
A clear majority of journalists said that there are many stories about the oil sands that go unreported and many of these unreported stories have to do with environmental issues
The Alberta Oil Sands Then and Now: An Investigation of the Economic, Environmental and Social Discourses Across Four Decades
Resource
In the last 10 to 15 years, global issues such as climate change, indigenous rights, pollution of the air and major waterways, and sustainability have become embedded in the oil sands discourse
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...
