Application of Stratified Random Census Procedures to the 1976 Aerial Moose Census in the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
purpose of this project is to determine the population size of moose in the survey area with regard given to sex and age ratios and distribution according to habitat and seasonal climatic features
Approaches to the Design of a Biomonitoring Program Using Arthropods as Bioindicators for the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Several insect species and groups of insects are examined for their potential as biological indicators in the AOSERP area.
Aquatic Biological Investigations of the Muskeg River Watershed
Resource
The epilithic microbial and micro-invertebrate communities under conditions of light and shade were studied from April to November 1978
Aquatic Biophysical Inventory of Major Tributaries in the AOSERP Study Area. Volume I: Summary Report
Resource
16-24 species of fish were found in each watershed. Forage fish (lake chub, pearl dace, longnose dace, trout-perch, brook stickleback, slimy sculpin) and white and longnose suckers were most abundant
Aquatic Biophysical Inventory of Major Tributaries in the AOSERP Study Area. Volume II: Atlas
Resource
Maps showing fish collection locations, photos and details of the physical characteristics of nine streams within five watersheds (Firebag, Muskeg, Steepbank, MacKay, and Ells) in AOSERP study area
Aquatic Fate of Fish Tainting Compounds in the Athabasca River
Resource
Relationship between hydrocarbons present naturally, or introduced due to surface oil sands mining and upgrading activities, and their potential bioaccumulation and tainting of the commercial fishery
Aquatic Habitat Mapping of the AOSERP Study Area (1978): Assessment and Recommendations
Resource
During 1978, a number of aquatic projects were funded by AOSERP using a habitat inventory and mapping approach.
Aquatic System Workshop 20 and 21 September 1978
Resource
Philosophy and structure of aquatic system inventory as conducted by the BC Resource Analysis Branch. Additional topics included data management and examples of detailed interpretive projects
Aspects of the Hydrologic and Sediment Regimes of the Muskeg River Basin and the Consequences of Vegetation Removal
Resource
Goals of this investigation were to describe the present hydrologic and sediment regimes and to predict the consequences of surface disturbances which precede oil sands mining using runoff plots.
Athabasca Oil Sands Multiple Use Corridor Study: Corridor Selection Process
Resource
To alleviate potential adverse effects on the environment from the proliferation of linear facilities, the multiple use corridor concept has been accepted by FLW as a feasible remedy
Athabasca Oil Sands Precipitation Chemistry Studies: 1976-79 and 1981
Resource
Determine changes in the input rate of atmospheric trace substances into sensitive ecosystems and provide a database for the documentation of variations in chemical characteristics of precipitation
Athabasca River Basin Low Flow Analysis
Resource
This report identifies historical, annual and open water, low flow sequences for 13 stations in the Athabasca River Basin which can be used to determine management guidelines for the River basin
Athabasca River Basin Study: Historical Natural Flows 1912 to 1980
Resource
Monthly flows are provided for the period 1912 to 1980 at 21 locations on the Athabasca River and its major tributaries. The flow data sets are suitable for water management planning
Athabasca River Basin Water Use Assessment
Resource
Nearly 76% of all water used in the basin in 1981 was obtained from the river, 22% from major tributaries and other surface sources, and the remaining 2% from groundwater
Athabasca River Modeling Studies (Phase I): Fort McMurray – Embarras
Resource
Once the composite model is calibrated and tested, it would predict mass loading or concentration of a parameter at any point along the study area for different future development scenarios
Athabasca River Monitoring Program - 1979
Resource
Pesticide Chemicals Branch of Alberta Environment conducted a monitoring program in 1979 related to two methoxychlor treatments of the Athabasca River for black fly (Simulium arcticum) control.
Athabasca River Monitoring Program - 1980
Resource
The use of methoxychlor in the Athabasca River to control black fly (Diptera: Simuliidae) larvae was monitored in 1980. Effective control of black fly was observed for a distance of 60 km
Athabasca River Monitoring Program - 1981
Resource
Population reductions of non-target organisms in the Athabasca River due to methoxychlor was limited for the May 20/21 treatment but was considerable for the June 19 treatment.
Athabasca River Water Quality Modelling 1990 Update
Resource
Changes in effluent loadings at the two pulp mills and an increase in river flows in the lower Athabasca Basin accounted for some noticeable improvements in water quality from that reported in 1990
