Seismic lines are an essential operation in the exploration for natural resources, providing more efficient and safe travel through a variety of topography with predictable costs associated. However...

Report provides a summary of wildlife habitat information for oil sands reclamation

Report describes a comprehensive, meaningful and cost-effective list of indicators of forest ecosystem function, including a description of how they might be used to assess reclamation success

Report proposes a criteria and indicator (C&I) framework and recommendations for development of reclamation certification criteria for oil sands mines

Document presents the scientific and engineering expertise to guide all reclamation activities associated with end pit lake design and construction

Objectives of the Twelve Mile Coulee Soil Research Project are to evaluate the impact of pipeline construction on Solonetzic soil quality and salt movement in the Brown soil zone

Objective was to evaluate several pipeline topsoil stripping depths to determine whether they result in land capability equivalent to that of adjacent forested lands broken for cultivation

Study concentrated on the well-documented 1981 right-of-way, and compared it to the oldest trench, installed in 1957, and to the undisturbed adjacent mixed prairie

Compare vegetative productivity, plant species composition and animal utilization on pipeline right-of-way to that of the adjacent native grassland. Field assessments were conducted over 4 years
