Governance as a Driver of Change in the Canadian Boreal Zone
Resource
The Canadian boreal forest is primarily public land, owned and managed by provincial governments on behalf of the public interest. Boreal forest governance consists of a complex patchwork of federal...
Graminoids Vary in Functional Traits, Carbon Dioxide and Methane Fluxes in a Restored Peatland: Implications for Modeling Carbon Storage
Resource
One metric of peatland restoration success is the re-establishment of a carbon sink, yet considerable uncertainty remains around the timescale of carbon sink trajectories. Conditions post-restoration...
Groundwater Hydrologic Regimes Within Reclaimed Surface Coal Mined Landscapes in Alberta
Resource
Between 1979 and 1988, the Plains Hydrology and Reclamation Project (PHRP) investigated interactions of groundwater, soils, and geology and successful reclamation of surface coal mines in the plains...
Groundwater in Peat and Peatlands
Resource
Peatlands are wetlands with soil comprised of undecomposed remains of plants that accumulate in such a way that both responds to and controls the flux and storage of surface water and groundwater, as...
Groundwater Monitoring Near Oil Sands Development: Insights From Regional Water Quality Datasets in the Alberta Oil Sands Region (AOSR)
Resource
Groundwater quality data for the AOSR are compiled and interpreted to provide information on regional water quality to inform groundwater monitoring and land use planning. A database of 546 water...
Groundwater Monitoring Near Oil Sands Development: Insights from Regional Water Quality Datasets in the Alberta Oil Sands Region (AOSR)
Resource
Groundwater quality data for the AOSR are compiled and interpreted to provide information on regional water quality to inform groundwater monitoring and land use planning. A database of 546 water...
Guide to Variance Justifications for Reclamation Certification of Wellsites and Associated Facilities on Forested Land: Case Studies
Resource
This document provides five case studies to show how the Guide to Variance Justifications for Reclamation Certification would be applied to real‐world examples of reclamation certificate applications
Guide to Variance Justifications for Reclamation Certification of Wellsites and Associated Facilities on Forested Land
Resource
This document was developed to provide guidance and consistency in applying for and approving variance requests for reclamation certification of upland sites from an ecological perspective.
Guide to Variance Justifications for Reclamation Certification of Wellsites and Associated Facilities: Stakeholder Review and Field Verification
Resource
Practitioners tested the Guide to Variance Justifications on four of those sites; three had been previously approved and one had been submitted and was pending a decision.
Habitat Restoration Across the Klinse-Za Caribou Herd Range
Project
The Klinse-Za herd area, located between Mackenzie, Chetwynd and the Peace Arm of Williston reservoir, used to support a herd of almost 200 caribou as recently as 1995 and was said to be so numerous...
Harnessing the Innovation System to Support Efficient Upstream Oil and Gas Wellsite Assessment, Remediation and Reclamation
Resource
On June 25, 2018, InnoTech Alberta, the Environmental Services Association of Alberta (ESSA) and Alberta Economic Development and Trade co-hosted a workshop entitled Harnessing the Innovation System...
How Mounds are Made Matters: Seismic Line Restoration Techniques Affect Peat Physical and Chemical Properties Throughout the Peat Profile
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...
HydroGeoSim: A Water Purification Geosimulation Modelling Platform
Resource
The model documentation summarizes the data, variables and assumptions required to capture how water purification services are provided across landscapes in Alberta
Identification and Characterization of Abandoned Padded Wellsites Using Remote Sensing
Resource
In 2018, the Petroleum Technology Alliance of Canada (PTAC) initiated a multi-stage project on the reclamation certification process for sites that were constructed using imported mineral soil pads in...
Impact of Climate on Reclamation Success in the Foothills/Mountains Region of Alberta, Canada
Resource
The Alberta Research Council has conducted a reclamation research program near Grande Cache, Alberta in conjunction with the surface mining operations of Smoky River Coal Limited since 1972. Use of...
Impact of Linear Disturbances on Boreal Wetland Carbon and Greenhouse Gas Exchange
