The Infographic supports broader understanding of the before after dose response study design used in the Oil Sands Monitoring Program.

Ecosystems are interconnected, and it is important to design a flexible monitoring program that captures integrated data to address high priority questions for partners and end-users. Before-After-Dose-Response (BADR) is a monitoring
design with two components:

  • Before-After: Monitoring in the same location before and after oil sands industrial development over time.
  • Dose-Response: Monitoring in different locations along a gradient of different intensities and types of oil sands industrial development at the same time.
