Carbon Dissolution Effects on pH Changes of RAMP Lakes in Northeastern Alberta, Canada
Resource
This study focuses on interpretation of hydrochemistry from 50 lakes thought to be acid sensitive, and so monitored by the Regional Aquatic Monitoring Program (RAMP) over the last two decades. This...
Carbon Gas Exchange, Primary Production and Litter Decomposition of a Restored Fen on a Former Well-Pad
Resource
Over 500,000 oil and gas wells have been drilled in Alberta. Recently updated peatland restoration criteria for well-pads creates incentive for peatland restoration, but little is known about...
Carbon Stocks and Fluxes From a Boreal Conifer Swamp: Filling a Knowledge Gap for Understanding the Boreal C Cycle
Resource
The carbon (C) dynamics of boreal coniferous swamps are a largely understudied component of wetland carbon cycling. We investigated the above- and below-ground carbon stocks and growing season carbon...
Certification of Mineral Soil Pads in the Boreal Region – A Path Forward. Working Session Summary
Resource
Workshop summary of discussions to inform a path forward for a policy framework that provided clarity on the process to request a change in land use and the criteria for evaluating the requests.
Certification of Mineral Soil Pads in the Boreal Region – Decision Framework and Support Tools
Resource
Factors to consider when assessing the ecological implications of a change in land use request (hydrology, cumulative effects and regional considerations, upland function, status of the borrow pit ...
Certification of Mineral Soil Pads in the Boreal Region – Decision Framework and Support Tools: 2023 Update
Resource
This 2022 Update is a revision of the original Decision Framework and Support Tools report based on stakeholder feedback and a field verification trial.
Certification Of Mineral Soil Pads in The Boreal Region – Decision Framework and Support Tools: Stakeholder Review and Field Verification
Resource
Results of a stakeholder review of the draft Certification of Mineral Soil Pads in the Boreal Region – Decision Framework and Support Tools report and a field verification trial by practitioners.
Changes to the Hydrology of a Boreal Fen Following the Placement of an Access Road and Below Ground Pipeline
Resource
Study Region A channel fen in the Athabasca Oil Sands Area, Alberta, Canada Study Focus We assessed the hydrological changes to the hydrology of a moderate-rich fen after the construction of a road...
Changes to the Hydrology of a Boreal Fen Following the Placement of an Access Road and Below Ground Pipeline
Resource
We assessed the hydrological changes to the hydrology of a moderate-rich fen after the construction of a road (perpendicular to flow) in 2003 and a pipeline (obliquely to flow) in 2011. New...
Characterization of Stored Peat in the Alberta Oil Sands Area
Resource
Physical, chemical, and microbiological properties of stored materials were compared with those of fibric moss peat, mesic moss peat, and mesic fen peat samples from undisturbed sites
Characterizing Spatial and Temporal Variations in Nutrient and CO2 Dynamics Within and Across Peatlands in the Western Boreal Plain, Canada
Resource
This thesis is comprising two studies characterizing nutrient dynamics within the Athabasca Oil Sands region (AOS) of Alberta. The first study simultaneously examined and compared nutrient (nitrogen...
Characterizing the Organic Composition of Snow and Surface Water Across the Athabasca Region: Phase 2
Resource
This study was conducted to characterize the composition of polar dissolved organic compounds present in snow and surface waters in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region (AOSR) with the goal of identifying...
Characterizing the Organic Composition of Snow and Surface Water in the Athabasca Region
Resource
Goal was identifying whether atmospherically-derived organics present in snow are a significant contributor to the organics detected in rivers and lakes in the oil sands region
Circulation of Water and Sediment in the Athabasca Delta Area
Resource
Describe how water and sediment from the Athabasca River are distributed through the delta system and how they circulate and mix in Lake Athabasca and flow through to the Slave River (re contaminants)
Clay Tailings from Alberta Oil Sands and Other Sources. A Review
Resource
Treatment and disposal procedures for oil sands tailings, as well as for clay tailings from other industries, are discussed and general background to the disposal problems is provided
Climate, Land Cover and Topography: Essential Ingredients in Predicting Wetland Permanence
Resource
Wetlands in the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) are forecast to retract in their ranges due to climate change, and potholes that typically contain ponded water year-round, which support a larger...
CO2 Uptake Decreased and CH4 Emissions Increased in First Two Years of Peatland Seismic Line Restoration
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...
