Groundwater Hydrologic Regimes Within Reclaimed Surface Coal Mined Landscapes in Alberta
Resource
Between 1979 and 1988, the Plains Hydrology and Reclamation Project (PHRP) investigated interactions of groundwater, soils, and geology and successful reclamation of surface coal mines in the plains...
Groundwater Monitoring Near Oil Sands Development: Insights From Regional Water Quality Datasets in the Alberta Oil Sands Region (AOSR)
Resource
Groundwater quality data for the AOSR are compiled and interpreted to provide information on regional water quality to inform groundwater monitoring and land use planning. A database of 546 water...
Habitat Loss Accelerates for the Endangered Woodland Caribou in Western Canada
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...
Habitat Loss Accelerates for the Endangered Woodland Caribou in Western Canada
Resource
Habitat loss is often the ultimate cause of species endangerment and is also a leading factor inhibiting species recovery. For this reason, species-at-risk legislation, policies and plans typically...
Habitat Selection and Spatial Relationships of Black Bears (Ursus americanus) with Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in Northeastern Alberta
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...
Habitat Selection at Different Scales for a Declining Aerial Insectivorous Bird as Determined by Autonomous Recording Technology
Resource
Conservation management is impeded by the lack of baseline data for many non-passerine, cryptic, or nocturnal species that are inadequately sampled by traditional monitoring programs. The recent rise...
Harvesting and Cleaning Aspen Seeds
Resource
Production of aspen plants can be done in two ways; from root cuttings or from seeds. The former method is used to produce plants of a specific clone; and is generally used when selecting for high...
Herald Oilfield Service Reclamation Project
Resource
The Herald Reclamation Project began in the summer of 1989 and, to date, has involved clean up of a 2 acre oil spill, salvage of metal equipment used by a now defunct oil cleaning business, and proper...
Hitchhiker Planting: Mixed-species Container Stock Planting as a Novel Tool to Increase Plant Diversity on Industrially Disturbed Sites
Resource
Rapid establishment of closed canopy cover is a key goal in land reclamation. While re-establishment of understory vegetation is likely to positively contribute to this goal, native herbaceous species...
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...
How Woodland Caribou use Post-fire Landscapes in Northeastern Alberta
Resource
To examine the effects of forest fires on woodland caribou, we collected GPS location data on five caribou ranges in northeastern Alberta.
Hybrid Poplars: The New Addition to Syncrude's Land Reclamation Species
Resource
Field survival and growth of three hybrid poplar varieties, Walker (Populus deltoides x Populus petrowskyana), Northwest (Populus deltoides x Populus balsamifera) and 38P38 (Populus balsamifera x...
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
Impact of Climate on Reclamation Success in the Foothills/Mountains Region of Alberta, Canada
Resource
The Alberta Research Council has conducted a reclamation research program near Grande Cache, Alberta in conjunction with the surface mining operations of Smoky River Coal Limited since 1972. Use of...
Impacts of Climate and Catastrophic Forest Changes on Streamflow and Water Balance in a Mountainous Headwater Stream in Southern Alberta
Resource
Rivers in Southern Alberta are vulnerable to climate change because much of the river water originates as snow in the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains.
Implementation of Contaminated Water Management System Upgrades to Allow for Dewatering of Two Open Pits at the Vangorda Plateau, Faro Mine Complex, Yukon
Resource
The Vangorda Plateau at the Faro Mine Complex contains two open pits that, starting in 2013, will both require dewatering. Since mine abandonment in 1998, water levels in Vangorda pit have been...
Improving Soil Tilth in Reclaimed Soils at the Highvale Mine
Resource
The Highvale mine, located 65 km west of Edmonton along the south side of Lake Wabamum, produces approximately 12 m1llion tons of coal per year as fuel for the Sundance and Keephills generating plants...
In Search of Evidence-based Management Targets: A Synthesis of the Effects of Linear Features on Woodland Caribou
Resource
Abstract Effective species management relies on evidence-based goals that address the processes influencing population demography. These goals therefore require understanding how stressors affect the...
