Lake Acidification Potential in the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program Study Area
Resource
Planned increases in oil sands developments with increased outputs of oxides of sulphur and nitrogen, led to a definitive study to assess the susceptibility of nearby lakes to acidification
Large Stocks of Peatland Carbon and Nitrogen are Vulnerable to Permafrost Thaw
Resource
Northern peatlands have accumulated large stocks of organic carbon (C) and nitrogen (N), but their spatial distribution and vulnerability to climate warming remain uncertain. Here, we used machine...
Long Term Prediction of Vegetation Performance on Mined Sands
Resource
This project on the "Long Term Prediction of Vegetation Performance On Mined Sands" (V.E.6.1) was undertaken to provide management with answers on the predictive ability to maintain different kinds of...
Longitudinal Study of Personal Adjustment and Social Conditions in the Fort McMurray Area Vol I: Research Design
Resource
Establish a research design for a longitudinal study to identify and explain the relationships between social and personal adjustment of people in the oil sands region
Longitudinal Study of Personal Adjustment and Social Conditions in the Fort McMurray Area Vol II.a: Background Papers
Resource
Investigate the feasibility of establishing a set of ''social indicators'' for the Fort McMurray study area. In this background Paper we set out the results of our examination, and our conclusions
Longitudinal Study of Personal Adjustment and Social Conditions in the Fort McMurray Area Vol II.b: Time-use Diaries
Resource
Time-use diary is a data collection instrument intended to furnish a detailed account of daily individual activities by type, sequence, duration and location to show how people spend their time
Maximization of Technical Training and Involvement of Area Manpower in AOSERP
Resource
Conceptual model of employment and occupational structure, proposal for training indigenous people which would facilitate their employment in AOSERP, and a research procedure for evaluating efficacy
Microbial Populations in the Athabasca River
Resource
Direct epifluorescence method has been adapted for counting bacteria in the sometimes turbid water of the Athabasca River and this method has been used to quantify planktonic bacteria.
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
Modeled Production, Oxidation, and Transport Processes of Wetland Methane Emissions in Temperate, Boreal, and Arctic Regions
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...
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
Permafrost Thaw Causes Large Carbon Loss in Boreal Peatlands While Changes to Peat Quality are Limited
Resource
Rapid, ongoing permafrost thaw of peatlands in the discontinuous permafrost zone is exposing a globally significant store of soil carbon (C) to microbial processes. Mineralization and release of this...
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)
