Microbial Populations in the Athabasca River
Resource
Direct epifluorescence method has been adapted for counting bacteria in the sometimes turbid water of the Athabasca River and this method has been used to quantify planktonic bacteria.
Mixing Characteristics of the Athabasca River Below Fort McMurray – Winter Conditions
Resource
Comprehensive assessment of mixing characteristics of the Athabasca River below Fort McMurray under ice-covered flow conditions. Two tracer tests conducted and analysed using recent theoretical models
Modelling the Pre-Anthropogenic Distribution of Wetlands in the Boreal Natural Region
Resource
This research poster describes a model used to assess pre-anthropogenic distribution of wetlands in the Lower Athabasca Region. Presented at the NAIT 7th Seminar on Linear Disturbance Impacts on...
Moose, Caribou, and Fire: Have We Got it Right Yet?
Resource
Natural disturbance plays a key role in shaping community dynamics. Within Canadian boreal forests, the dominant form of natural disturbance is fire, and its effects are thought to influence the...
Moose, Caribou, and Fire: Have we got it Right Yet?
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...
Native Employment Patterns in Alberta’s Athabasca Oil Sands Region
Resource
Patterns and trends in native employment and employment training; gaps and ambiguities about employment patterns and employment training programs, and research recommendations
Overview of Local Economic Development in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region Since 1961
Resource
Study to review the economic evolution of the Athabasca Oil Sands region since 1961 including an analysis of historical growth in the local business sectors of Fort McMurray and Fort Chipewyan
Partnering for Caribou Recovery Fall 2014 Update
Resource
To address the issue of increased caribou predation, the ABMI’s Caribou Monitoring Unit (CMU) is currently involved in testing an experimental caribou recovery project, south of Fort McMurray. The CMU...
Performance of Grasses, Shrubs and Trees on Disturbed Soil at the AOSERP Mildred Lake Camp Experimental Area
Resource
Objectives were to establish grass, shrub and tree species for evaluation of their response, particularly their reproduction response, to the climatic and edaphic conditions north of Fort McMurray
Performance of Vegetation on Mined Sands
Resource
2nd year of field work and intensive laboratory and greenhouse studies contribute to a much fuller understanding of the factors related to the very successful growth of Jack Pine on sand
Physical Description of Selected Tributary Mouths and Sheltered Backwaters of the Athabasca and Clearwater Rivers
Resource
Physical changes evident at tributary confluences were Secchi visibility, current velocity, and flow direction. At the tributary mouths, sand and silt substrates were predominant in sheltered areas
Physiology and Mechanisms of Airborne Pollutant Injury to Vegetation, 1979-80
Resource
Appreciable changes in biochemical functions in an epiphytic lichen, Evernia mesomorpha, were observed in response to controlled SO2 exposures even at a very low SO2 concentration (0.1 ppm)
Potential Productivity of Black Bear Habitat of the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Crude average bear density for the AOSERP study area, including water areas, was 0.18 per km2 assuming total avoidance of muskeg areas and 0.25 per km2 assuming use of muskeg
Predicting Invasive Plant Response to Climate Change: Prioritization and Mapping of New Potential Threats to Alberta’s Biodiversity
Resource
Assessed 16 potentially new invasive plant species not yet present in Alberta for their invasiveness and climate change-related risk
Preliminary List of Works in Induced Seismicity Related to Fluid Injection
Resource
This list of papers and articles from professional and learned journals was assembled to provide a point of departure for hydrogeological and geomechanical studies in the Cold Lake Oil Sands
Preliminary Recommendations for Mapping of Aquatic Habitat Parameters for the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
3 aspects of aquatic habitat assessment and mapping. 1 - review of the parameters which characterize aquatic habitats. 2 - efficient procedure for collecting the data. 3 - computer mapping techniques
Prioritizing Zones for Caribou Habitat Restoration in the Canada's Oil Sands Innovation Alliance Area V1.0
Resource
Boreal caribou populations are declining across Alberta and much of their Canadian range. Key factors causing this decline include a warming climate along with habitat change from industrial...
Prioritizing Zones for Caribou Habitat Restoration in the Canada's Oil Sands Innovation Alliance Area V2.0
Resource
Seismic lines and other linear features created by humans are thought to negatively impact woodland caribou. It is estimated that there are c. 100,000 km of conventional seismic lines in caribou...
Prioritizing Zones for Caribou Habitat Restoration in the Canada's Oil Sands Innovation Alliance Area V3.0
Resource
Linear features, including seismic lines, pipelines, transmission lines, roads, railways, and trails are pervasive in Alberta’s boreal forest and have been implicated as a primary factor leading to...
