Resource
Report proposes a criteria and indicator (C&I) framework and recommendations for development of reclamation certification criteria for oil sands mines
A Multi-stakeholder Approach for Developing Mine Reclamation Guidelines
Resource
CEMA, a multi-stakeholder organisation advising the provincial and federal governments, is committed to respectful, inclusive dialogue to make recommendations for cumulative effects management
A Review of Unoccupied Aerial Vehicle Use in Wetland Applications: Emerging Opportunities in Approach, Technology, and Data
Resource
Recent developments in technology and data processing for Unoccupied Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have revolutionized the scope of ecosystem monitoring, providing novel pathways to fill the critical gap...
Assessing Re-establishment of Functional Forest Ecosystems on Reclaimed Oil Sands Mine Lands
Resource
This paper presents information on RWG’s approach to the guidance and assessment of reforestation of oil sands mine disturbances
Best Management Practices for Conservation of Reclamation Materials in the Mineable Oil Sands Region of Alberta

The Cumulative Environmental Management Association (CEMA) was a leading multi-stakeholder group operating in the heart of Canada’s boreal forest - the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, Alberta...
Comparison of Soil Quality and Productivity of Reclaimed and Native Oil Sands Soils
Resource
The primary target of land reclamation in the Athabasca Oil Sands (AOS) region of Canada is to re-create ecosystems which are similar to the pre-disturbance ecosystems. The main objective of this...
Comprehensive Report on Operational Reclamation Techniques in the Mineable Oil Sands Region
Resource
This report identifies and summarizes reclamation practices that have been used in the mineable Oil Sands region and coal mining industry over the last 40+ years.
Criteria and Indicator Framework for Oil Sands Mine Reclamation
Resource
Outcome-based criteria encourage innovations in reclamation techniques, provide a higher level of credibility credibility for decision makers, and increase certainty for the operator
Dietary Reconstruction and Evidence of Prey Shifting in Pleistocene and Recent Gray Wolves (Canis lupus) From Yukon Territory
Resource
We investigate if and how diets of gray wolves from the Yukon have changed from the Pleistocene to the recent Holocene using dental microwear analysis of carnassial teeth and stable isotope analyses
Early Successional Wildlife Monitoring on Reclamation Plots in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region
Resource
Pilot study to assess the use of early successional stands (i.e. those ranging in age from 4 to 17 years) by wildlife (songbirds, small mammals, and ungulates), using a wildlife monitoring protocol

Increased Nutrient Availability Speeds up Permafrost Development, While Goose Grazing Slows it Down in a Canadian High Arctic Wetland
Resource
1. It is of prime importance to understand feedbacks due to the release of carbon (C) stored in permafrost soils (permafrost-climate feedback) and direct impacts of climatic variations on permafrost...
Large Stocks of Peatland Carbon and Nitrogen are Vulnerable to Permafrost Thaw
Resource
Northern peatlands have accumulated large stocks of organic carbon (C) and nitrogen (N), but their spatial distribution and vulnerability to climate warming remain uncertain. Here, we used machine...
