Amphibian eDNA Pilot Report
Resource
The eDNA approach detected three amphibian species across the four sites sampled in this project. Three amphibian species were identified by ARU methods at the four sites.
An Ecological Framework for Wildlife Habitat Design for Oil Sands Mine Reclamation
Resource
Wildlife communities are an important part of the biodiversity of the post-mining landscape, and are crucial elements of the traditional landscape for First Nations and other users of the land.
An Economical Penetrometer for High Strength Soils
Resource
The Centre Cone Penetrometer was developed as a low-cost instrument suitable for compaction studies. Simple in design, this hand-held penetrometer uses a helical compression spring to relate applied...
An Environmental Study of the Athabasca Tar Sands: Supplementary Working Papers
Resource
A collection of technical working papers that helped inform the final report and recommendations
Analyzing the Impacts of Road Construction on the Development of a Poor Fen in Northeastern Alberta, Canada
Resource
Linear disturbances such as powerline rights of way, seismic lines and roads are common in areas of intensive resource development. Roads that bisect wetlands can alter their hydrologic connectivity...
Application of Artificial Substrate Samplers to Assess Enrichment of Metals of Concern by River Floodwaters to Lakes Across the Peace-Athabasca Delta
Resource
Potential for downstream delivery of contaminants via Athabasca River floodwaters to lakes of the PAD has raised local to international concern. Here, we quantify enrichment of eight metals (Be, Cd...
Applying and Testing a Novel Method to Estimate Animal Density from Motion-triggered Cameras
Resource
Estimating animal abundance and density are fundamental goals of many wildlife monitoring programs. Camera trapping has become an increasingly popular tool to achieve these monitoring goals due to...
Aspects of the Hydrologic and Sediment Regimes of the Muskeg River Basin and the Consequences of Vegetation Removal
Resource
Goals of this investigation were to describe the present hydrologic and sediment regimes and to predict the consequences of surface disturbances which precede oil sands mining using runoff plots.
Assessing the Influence of In Situ Industrial Development on Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) Movement in the Lower Athabasca Planning Region of Alberta. 2012 Final Report
Resource
With few exceptions, permeability across in situ developments was the main factor affecting caribou movement. Relationship was non-linear, suggesting a minimum threshold of permeability is needed
Assessing the Influence of Industrial Development on Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in the Lower Athabasca Planning Region of Alberta: 2011 Final Report
Resource
At current levels of industrial development, pipelines and linear features have a very small negative effect on caribou populations compared to the high levels of predation.
Athabasca Oil Sands Precipitation Chemistry Studies: 1976-79 and 1981
Resource
Determine changes in the input rate of atmospheric trace substances into sensitive ecosystems and provide a database for the documentation of variations in chemical characteristics of precipitation
Beyond Fill and Spill: Hydrological Connectivity in a Sub-Arctic Bog-Fen-Tributary Complex in the Hudson Bay Lowlands, Canada
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...
Biodiversity Outcomes of Land Management Choices in Alberta’s Agricultural Lands
Resource
This proof of concept assessment helps understand better market opportunities associated with biodiversity management in Alberta’s agricultural lands. Land management can increase biodiversity.
Boreal Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in British Columbia: 2017 Science Review
Resource
This scientific review was prepared for the B.C. Oil and Gas Research Innovation Society (Victoria, B.C.). In 2010, the Ministry of Environment (MOE) completed the Scientific Update for the Boreal...
Breeding Native Grasses for Alpine Reclamation in Alberta
Resource
Disturbances of alpine and subalpine regions are increasing. They result from mining, pipeline and transportation corridor construction, tourism and other activities. Presently, there are no...
