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 Fisheries and Water Quality Survey of Ten Lakes in the Richardson Tower Area, Northeastern Alberta. Volume 2: Data
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 Hydrogeological Landscape Framework to Identify Peatland Wildfire Smouldering Hot Sports
Resource
Northern peatlands are important global carbon stores, but there is concern that these boreal peat reserves are at risk due to increased fire frequency and severity as predicted by climate change...
A Hydrogeological Landscape Framework to Identify Peatland Wildfire Smouldering Hot Spots
Resource
This study used a combination of field measurements and modelling to assess the vulnerability of peat to smouldering in the Utikuma Region Study Area, Alberta, Canada.
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 New Lake Classification Scheme for the Peace-Athabasca Delta (Canada) Characterizes Hydrological Processes that Cause Lake-level Variation
Resource
Recent drawdown of the delta’s abundant shallow lakes and rivers has deteriorated vital habitat for wildlife and impaired navigation routes. Here, we report continuous measurements at ~50 lakes during...
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 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
A Preliminary Study of Chemical and Microbial Characteristics of the Athabasca River in the Athabasca Oil Sands Area of Northeastern Alberta
Resource
A literature review and evaluation of methods used to determine rates of bacterial uptake (heterotrophic assimilation) of organic substrates in fresh water systems was undertaken
A Preliminary Vegetation Survey of the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program Study Area
Resource
84 stands were chosen as representative of all the major vegetation types in the study area. The structure and species composition of each stand was described
A Regional-Scale Index for Assessing the Exposure of Drinking-Water Sources to Wildfires
Resource
Recent human-interface wildfires around the world have raised concerns regarding the reliability of freshwater supply flowing from severely burned watersheds. Degraded source water quality can often...
A Review and Assessment of the Baseline Data Relevant to the Impacts of Oil Sands Developments on Large Mammals in the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Major gaps in the baseline knowledge of woodland caribou were: distribution , seasonal habitat use, the effects of sensory disturbance, and population density; minor gap re: direct mortality
A Review and Assessment of Vegetation Information for the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Vegetation workshop was held November 1979 to evaluate user needs for more detailed vegetation descriptions and maps and to review the results of the vegetation survey as a step towards meeting needs
