Mighty Peace Watershed Alliance Integrated Watershed Management Plan
Resource
The Mighty Peace Watershed Alliance (MPWA) supports the three goals of Alberta’s Water for Life Strategy: safe secure drinking water, healthy aquatic ecosystems, and reliable, quality water supplies...
Mixing Characteristics of the Athabasca River Below Fort McMurray – Winter Conditions
Resource
Comprehensive assessment of mixing characteristics of the Athabasca River below Fort McMurray under ice-covered flow conditions. Two tracer tests conducted and analysed using recent theoretical models
Native Employment Patterns in Alberta’s Athabasca Oil Sands Region
Resource
Patterns and trends in native employment and employment training; gaps and ambiguities about employment patterns and employment training programs, and research recommendations
Overview of Local Economic Development in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region Since 1961
Resource
Study to review the economic evolution of the Athabasca Oil Sands region since 1961 including an analysis of historical growth in the local business sectors of Fort McMurray and Fort Chipewyan
Performance of Grasses, Shrubs and Trees on Disturbed Soil at the AOSERP Mildred Lake Camp Experimental Area
Resource
Objectives were to establish grass, shrub and tree species for evaluation of their response, particularly their reproduction response, to the climatic and edaphic conditions north of Fort McMurray
Performance of Vegetation on Mined Sands
Resource
2nd year of field work and intensive laboratory and greenhouse studies contribute to a much fuller understanding of the factors related to the very successful growth of Jack Pine on sand
Physical Description of Selected Tributary Mouths and Sheltered Backwaters of the Athabasca and Clearwater Rivers
Resource
Physical changes evident at tributary confluences were Secchi visibility, current velocity, and flow direction. At the tributary mouths, sand and silt substrates were predominant in sheltered areas
Physiology and Mechanisms of Airborne Pollutant Injury to Vegetation, 1979-80
Resource
Appreciable changes in biochemical functions in an epiphytic lichen, Evernia mesomorpha, were observed in response to controlled SO2 exposures even at a very low SO2 concentration (0.1 ppm)
Potential Productivity of Black Bear Habitat of the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Crude average bear density for the AOSERP study area, including water areas, was 0.18 per km2 assuming total avoidance of muskeg areas and 0.25 per km2 assuming use of muskeg
Preliminary List of Works in Induced Seismicity Related to Fluid Injection
Resource
This list of papers and articles from professional and learned journals was assembled to provide a point of departure for hydrogeological and geomechanical studies in the Cold Lake Oil Sands
Preliminary Recommendations for Mapping of Aquatic Habitat Parameters for the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
3 aspects of aquatic habitat assessment and mapping. 1 - review of the parameters which characterize aquatic habitats. 2 - efficient procedure for collecting the data. 3 - computer mapping techniques
Proceedings of the First Annual Workshop of the Vegetation Technical Research Committee, October 14 &15, 1976
Resource
The extraction of bitumen from the Athabasca Oil Sands can be considered successful only if workable and economically feasible methods of reclamation of the area following mining are developed
Proceedings: Technical Seminar for the Expert Advisory Group to Aquatic Fauna Committee, AOSERP
Resource
The Committee has brought together a group of biological scientists from all across Canada to give us their views on our direction and the questions we should be asking over next three to five years.
Proposed Design for a Program of Toxicological Research for the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program
Resource
A Toxicological Index is proposed to outline the toxicological significance of specific inorganic elements to mammals and aquatic organisms. Index provides a list of elements of environmental concern
Reclamation for Afforestation by Suitable Native and Introduced Tree and Shrub Species
Resource
In 1976 methods and materials were used in the search for afforestation practices that will assist in the establishment of a self sustaining vegetation cover compatible with land use objectives
Regional Water Quality of the AOSERP Study Area. Volume II: Discussion of 1976 and 1977 Data
Resource
Provide background information on an extensive number of water quality parameters to enable the employment of predictive techniques and at the same time to understand natural water quality loadings
Relationships Between Habitats, Forages and Carrying Capacity of Moose Range in Northern Alberta. Part 1: Moose Preferences for Habitat and Strata and Forages
Resource
Radio telemetry was employed to delineate seasonal use, and preference and avoidance of both habitat strata and forages. Environmental variables affecting habitat use were identified and measured
Report on an Ecological Survey of Terrestrial Insect Communities in the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Members of 261 insect families were found in the study area, of which 220 were collected in this survey. Damage surveys showed great variation in the rates of insect attack on dominant plant species
