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 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
