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
Peat Depth as a Control on Sphagnum Moisture Stress During Seasonal Drought
Resource
A critical ‘threshold’ peat depth specific for different hydrogeological and hydroclimatic regions can be used to assess what peatlands are especially vulnerable to climate change mediated drought.
Peat Surface Compression Reduces Smouldering Fire Potential as a Novel Fuel Treatment for Boreal Peatlands
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...
Peat Swamp Hydrological Connectivity and Runoff Vary by Hydrogeomorphic Setting: Implications for Carbon Storage
Resource
Despite their importance in carbon cycling and catchment runoff dynamics, the hydrology of temperate peat swamps in response to changing hydrometeorological conditions is largely understudied. We...
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)
Pollution timebombs: Contaminated wetlands are ticking towards ignition
News
Organization
Wetlands across the globe have long served as natural repositories for humanity’s toxic legacy, absorbing and retaining hundreds to thousands of years’ worth of pollution. These swampy vaults have...
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

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
Primary Drivers of Reptile Overwintering Habitat Suitability: Integrating Wetland Ecohydrology and Spatial Complexity
Resource
Identifying ecosystems resilient to climate and land-use changes is recognized as essential for conservation strategies. However, wetland ecosystems may respond differently to stressors depending on...
