Habitat Relationships and Management of Terrestrial Birds in Northeastern Alberta
Resource
Breeding bird studies using the mapping method were combined with intensive habitat quantification to determine the relative values to breeding avifauna of 21 habitat types
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 Linear Features Alter Predator Movement and the Functional Response
Resource
In areas of oil and gas exploration, seismic lines have been reported to alter the movement patterns of wolves (Canis lupus). We developed a mechanistic first passage time model, based on an...
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
Hydrogeological Investigation of the Muskeg River Basin, Alberta
Resource
Streamflow in all basins influenced by the disturbance of muskeg. Where muskeg is removed and replaced by mineral soils, stream discharge will decrease during spring runoff and stormflow periods
Hydrological Functions of a Peatland in a Boreal Plains Ecosystem
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...
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
Insect-mediated Apparent Competition Between Mammals in a Boreal Food Web
Resource
While the important role of animal-mediated interactions in the top-down restructuring of plant communities is well documented, less is known of their ensuing repercussions at higher trophic levels...
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
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
Interim Report on a Soils Inventory in the Athabasca Oil Sands Area
Resource
Samples were taken from eight mineral and eight organic soil profiles. In addition, samples of parent materials from eight mineral soil sites were taken for analysis.
