Paleolimnological Assessment of Past Hydro-ecological Variation at a Shallow Hardwater Lake in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region Before Potential Onset of Industrial Development
Resource
Effective environmental monitoring requires knowledge of inherent natural variation. In the absence of pre-development monitoring of aquatic ecosystems, paleolimnological approaches have been...
Panel Discussion – Public Participation in Development and Reclamation
Resource
Public participation will increase in all facets of industrial development in Alberta. This Panel was convened to identify some of the ways in which the public can participate in the development and...
Panel Discussion – What is Successful Reclamation?
Resource
Government: The Government's perception of successful reclamation may be different than that of the landowner or the operator or any of the other interest groups or all of them. It is not the...
Partitioning Forest-Floor Respiration into Source Based Emissions in a Boreal Forested Bog: Response to Experimental Drought
Resource
Northern peatlands store globally significant amounts of soil carbon that could be released to the atmosphere under drier conditions induced by climate change. We measured forest floor respiration (R...
Passive Treatment of Mine Drainage Waters: The Use of Biochars and Wood Products to Enhance Metal Removal Efficiency
Resource
Passive biological treatments have been proposed as a possible efficient and cost effective treatment method for metal bearing water discharged from mine sites after closure. Several biofilters are...
Performance of an Engineered Cover System for a Uranium Mine Waste Rock Pile in Northern Saskatchewan After Six Years
Resource
The Claude waste rock pile at Cluff Lake uranium mine in northern Saskatchewan's Athabasca basin contains ~7.2 million tonnes of waste rock, upon which an engineered enhanced store-and-release cover...
Petroleum Exploration Increases Methane Emissions from Northern Peatlands
Resource
Peatlands are globally significant sources of atmospheric methane (CH4). In the northern hemisphere, extensive geologic exploration activities have occurred to map petroleum deposits. In peatlands...

Resource
Vezza Mine, a former gold mine includes a three-compartment shaft with four underground levels down to a depth of 741 metres, This mine was never put in production since its construction around 1997...
Phytoremediation of Petroleum Hydrocarbon Impacted Soils at a Remote Abandoned Exploration Wellsite in the Sahtu Region, Northwest Territories
Resource
Sub-arctic remote locations pose a challenge for remediation of petroleum hydrocarbons. Selecting the best method that considers and balances each of the social, economic and ecological factors that...
Pipeline Reclamation Techniques
Resource
Successful reclamation of a pipeline right-of-way is contingent upon the proper material handling procedure, especially for topsoil conservation. NOVA's practice of topsoil conservation is discussed...
Planning for Soil Conservation by the Oil and Gas Industry
Resource
The two types of industry disturbances that have effected most of the agricultural land are the construction of wellsites and the roads to these wellsites and the construction of pipelines. There are...
