This report discusses and illustrates how the risk and uncertainty introduced by climate change can be incorporated into reclamation planning. Two approaches to reclamation planning are described.

Previous work has considered the effect of a toxin on the population dynamics of a single trophic level, such as fish, we focus on the impacts of toxins on the population dynamics of aquatic food webs

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

138 potential oil sands challenges, categorized based on a set of criteria and solutions to the most pressing ones. About 84% of the challenges identified were expected to occur in the next 5 years

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.

This report presents a comprehensive review of industrial applications of an emerging environmental monitoring technology called Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and a WSN installed at Coal Valley Mine

Scope of the project is to develop a geomatics-based monitoring system to support the Government of Alberta’s efforts for monitoring reclamation success. Software will support decision making process

Oil sands reclamation guidance documents include lists of potential reclamation species and their characteristics - This report consolidates and updates profiles for 98 of these species

Current state of knowledge about shrubs and their use in oil sands reclamation noted a number of regulatory requirements and policies that support shrub use but a far larger list of impediments

Goal was identifying whether atmospherically-derived organics present in snow are a significant contributor to the organics detected in rivers and lakes in the oil sands region
