17th North American Caribou Workshop 2018
Project
Organization:
The North American Caribou Workshop (NACW) is held every two years, and is a central event for sharing Indigenous knowledge, science and lessons learned, reporting on caribou status and discussing...
A Before-After Dose-Response (BADR) Terrestrial Biological Monitoring Framework for the Oil Sands
Resource
One of the theme areas monitored within the OSM program is terrestrial biodiversity, known programmatically as Terrestrial Biological Monitoring (TBM). Biodiversity refers to the diversity of wild...
A Census of Moose on Syncrude’s Leases 17 and 22 During Early February 1977
Resource
Total numbers of moose observed and likely the total moose population, declined 40% (43 to 26) between Feb 1976 and Feb 1977. A disproportionately higher number of moose were present in aspen sites
A Comparative Study of Benthic Algal Primary Productivity in the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Seasonal fluctuations in algal species and numbers were influenced by a myriad of interacting factors as were standing crop fluctuations. Numerically, cyanophycean algae dominated, followed by diatoms
A Fire Suppression Model for Forested Range of the Beverly and Qamanirjuaq Herds of Caribou
Resource
A fire suppression model was developed for forested winter range of the Beverly and Qamanirjuaq (formerly Kaminuriak) herds of barren-ground caribou ( Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus) in north-central...

Resource
Volume I I contains all data collected for the study reported in Vol 1.
A Fisheries and Water Quality Survey of Ten Lakes in the Richardson Tower Area, Northeastern Alberta. Volume I: Methodology, Summary, and Discussion
Resource
A fisheries and water quality survey was conducted in September 1979 on 10 small lakes (67.4 to 338.9 ha) in the vicinity of Richardson Tower, approximately 140 km north of Fort McMurray, Alberta
A Laboratory Study of Long-term Effects of Mine Depressurization Groundwater on Fish and Invertebrates
Resource
Mine depressurization groundwater was acutely toxic to the three species of invertebrates tested. The 90 d LC50 was 8.5 to 9% for rainbow trout, 13.2% for lake chub, and 5.8% for white suckers.
A Longitudinal Physico-chemical and Algal Survey of Five Rivers Flowing Through the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Diatoms and blue-green algae dominated numericallyin five tributary rivers flowing into the Athabasca River except in the Hangingstone River where chlorophycean species replaced the latter group
A Map of Global Peatland Extent Created Using Machine Learning (Peat-ML)
Resource
Peatlands play an integral role in the global carbon and hydrologic cycles and make up 3% of the Earth’s total landscape. Despite their importance, there is a lack of accurate information on the...
A Plan for the Identification of Potentially Toxic Materials in the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
A co-ordinated plan is proposed for the identification of toxic emissions from oil sand developments in the AOSERP study area based on interviews with over 40 specialists in various fields
A Preliminary Investigation into the Magnitude of Fog Occurrence and Associated Problems in the Oil Sands Area
Resource
Based on meteorological and historical fog data, Fort McMurray Airport experiences 4 to 5 days with ice fog and 18 total days with fog per year covering 320 to 1580 km2
A Preliminary Review of Black Bear – Human Interactions and Recommended Strategies for the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
The analysis of bear-human interactions in the AOSERP study area indicated that the major conflict arises from nuisance bears attracted to areas by garbage
