Syncrude's Reclamation Research Program
Resource
The objective of Syncrude's land reclamation research program is to identify and develop cost-effective land reclamation strategies and techniques to achieve acceptable reclamation for all...
2019 Base Mine Lake Monitoring and Research Summary Report: Results from 2013-2018
Resource
Syncrude's Base Mine Lake (BML) is the first, and currently the only full-scale commercial demonstration of the end pit lake technology in the oil sands industry. An oil sands end pit lake (EPL) is an...
2021 Pit Lake Monitoring and Research Report
Resource
Syncrude first began investigating the Water-Capped Tailings Technology (WCTT) in the early 1980’s through the establishment of a research program founded on progressive scaled-up testing of water...
A Caribou Decline Foreshadowed by Inuit in the Central Canadian Arctic: A Retrospective Analysis
Resource
The Dolphin and Union (DU) caribou herd ( Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus x pearyi), locally referred to as Island caribou, is a unique and at-risk ecotype of caribou that ranges on Victoria Island...
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 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 New Method to Map Groundwater Table in Peatlands Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Resource
Groundwater level (GWL) and depth to water (DTW) are related metrics aimed at characterizing groundwater-table positions in peatlands, and two of the most common variables collected by researchers...
A Scoping Review of the Rangifer tarandus Infectious Disease Literature: Gap between Information and Application
Resource
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
A Study of Aquatic Environments in the Syncrude Development Area, 1984
Resource
Characterize and re-define aquatic habitats. Aquatic habitat, water quality, flora, and fauna of the aquatic systems in the development area are typical of those found in the oil sands region
A Study of Biological Colonization of the West Interceptor Ditch and Lower Beaver Creek
Resource
describe existing environmental conditions in, and to document natural biological colonization of, the West Interceptor Ditch and determine the degree of biological colonization of lower Beaver Creek
A Study of the Chemical and Physical Properties of Syncrude's Tailings Pond, Mildred Lake, 1980
Resource
In 1980, the tailings pond was a highly stratified waterbody with a low density, well mixed surface zone (0-6 m) overlying a high density deep water zone (>10 m) where mixing is slow
A Synthesis of Three Decades of Eco-Hydrological Research at Scotty Creek, NWT, Canada
Resource
Scotty Creek, Northwest Territories (NWT), Canada, has been the focus of eco-hydrological research for nearly three decades. Over this period, field and modelling studies have generated new insights...
Agronomic Properties and Reclamation Possibilities for Surface Materials on Syncrude Lease #17
Resource
Reclamation planning for tar sands mining and extraction operation differs greatly from that used in Alberta foothills and plains coal mines. One of the main differences is that the bulk of the...
An Entomological Reconnaissance of Syncrude Lease #17 and its Environs
Resource
Entomological reconnaissance study of Syncrude Lease #17 area to gain preliminary data and to examine the potential of insects as biological monitors of environmental changes resulting from Syncrude
Assessing Pathogen Prevalence and the Health of Ungulates in West-central Alberta Caribou Ranges
Project
Contact
This project will gather data on the disease and parasites carried by moose, deer, and elk to determine the risk of transmission to caribou. Land managers need to know the threats faced by caribou in...
Association of Environmental Factors with Seasonal Intensity of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae Seropositivity among Arctic Caribou
Resource
Several caribou ( Rangifer tarandus) populations have been declining concurrently with increases in infectious diseases in the Arctic. Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, a zoonotic bacterium, was first...
