Summary of 2013 Tailings Technology Development and Commercialization Workshop
Resource
There is no single technology solution for tailings disposal – a suite of technologies will be required For a technology to be considered suitable it must provide net environmental benefits
Summary of Resiliency of Reclaimed Boreal Forest Landscapes Seminar
Resource
For reclaimed lands to be considered self-sustaining they should respond to natural and anthropogenic disturbances in a similar manner to how an analogous undisturbed landscape might respond
Summary of the Oil Sands Groundwater – Surface Water Interactions Workshop
Resource
Develop common understanding of the current knowledge regarding groundwater resources, groundwater-surface water interactions in the oil sands area, ongoing applied research, monitoring and impacts
Survey of Albertans’ Value Drivers Regarding Oil Sands Development and Reclamation

Survey demonstrated need to better communicate availability of existing information and continue to make efforts to provide easy, timely and transparent access to monitoring and research information
Synthesis of Toxicological Behavior of Oil Sands Process-Affected Water Constituents
Resource
Review of the adverse effects of individual compounds, or mixtures of compounds, that are present in oil sands process-affected water and/or other oil-related sources.
Temperature, Moisture and Freeze–thaw Controls on CO2 Production in Soil Incubations From Northern Peatlands
Resource
Peat accumulation in high latitude wetlands represents a natural long-term carbon sink, resulting from the cumulative excess of growing season net ecosystem production over non-growing season (NGS)...

The Alberta Oil Sands, Journalists, and Their Sources
Resource
A clear majority of journalists said that there are many stories about the oil sands that go unreported and many of these unreported stories have to do with environmental issues
The Alberta Oil Sands Then and Now: An Investigation of the Economic, Environmental and Social Discourses Across Four Decades
Resource
In the last 10 to 15 years, global issues such as climate change, indigenous rights, pollution of the air and major waterways, and sustainability have become embedded in the oil sands discourse
The Biophysical Climate Mitigation Potential of Boreal Peatlands During the Growing Season
Resource
Peatlands and forests cover large areas of the boreal biome and are critical for global climate regulation. They also regulate regional climate through heat and water vapour exchange with the...
