Hydrotechnical research in the Alberta Oil Sands has been oriented toward establishment of baseline (pre-development) environmental conditions and identification of contaminant transport mechanisms

Evaluate impact of the GCOS tailings discharges on the Athabasca River, and to provide recommendations on any necessary action to be taken by Alberta Environment and Great Canadian Oil Sands Limited.

Objective of is to provide a comprehensive listing of reports relating to the socio-economic and environmental aspects of the development of the Athabasca oil sands; contains about 1900 references

There were few significant differences among provenances for any of the native species. This suggests that genotypic differences were small among the populations tested.

Species performances were generally poor in the species adaptability trials at Cadomin. Contrastingly, most species performed reasonably well in the species adaptability trial at Mildred Lake

Oil sand overburden materials within Syncrude Lease No. 17 were sampled and analyzed with the intent of isolating mineral materials overlying lean oil sand which may be useful in reclamation

Heavy oils produced from the Alberta oil sands contain cyclic organic compounds together with sulphur and nitrogen. Upon thermal treatment they have potential to form carcinogenic, mutagenic, and toxi

Produce mycorrhizal jack pine seedlings in the greenhouse and initiate a field study on the Syncrude dyke on the effect of different ectomycorrhizal fungi on the growth of jack pine

13 recommendations related to tailings, reclamation, data access, regional plan, economics, research coordination, groundwater and the Athabasca River

Of the 16 permanent plots established in 1981, four of these, Nos. 1,6,11, and 13 were destroyed by fire shortly after they were surveyed. In 1982, four new plots were established to replace the...
