Knowledge Exchange Workshop focused on centralization, collection, distribution and synthesis of knowledge, information and data related to reclamation

microcosm-based experiment conducted to investigate ability of community level physiological profiling to detect changes in an aquatic microbial community from exposure to oil sands process water

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

Guide to answer: • Why has there been a shift in how we manage woody materials? • How can woody materials be managed effectively on sites? • What do effective woody material applications look like?

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

Literature review provides an understanding of ecological resilience as a concept to promote successful land reclamation in Alberta’s mineable oil sands region

Report focuses on evolution and current state of pertinent federal legislative Acts in the environmental, natural resource, and energy policy sectors that may impact oil sands environmental management

Model projections of tree regeneration under climate change on actual oil sands reclamation materials, and comprehensive model analysis of the risks to ecosystem productivity from climate change

Reclaimed mine sites will consist of engineered landforms (including water bodies and waterways); the long-term hydrological and ecological function of those sites may be vulnerable to beaver activity

Examination of the effects of human disturbances and fire on variation in boreal caribou recruitment and adult female survival, using data from 58 study areas across Canada.

Study aiming to characterize year-to-year variability of Peary caribou habitat conditions across the Canadian Arctic Archipelago from 2000 to 2013.

Study of the strength and nature of the relationships of snow density and vegetation with Peary caribou populations using a spatially explicit modelling framework.

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

Study testing wolf responses to infrastructure related to natural resources development across Canada's boreal ecosystems.

Modelling results for the regional watersheds were encouraging and demonstrate that SWATBF has the potential to be utilized as a practical tool for conducting hydrologic assessments in the oil sands

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

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
