Microbial Populations in the Athabasca River
Resource
Direct epifluorescence method has been adapted for counting bacteria in the sometimes turbid water of the Athabasca River and this method has been used to quantify planktonic bacteria.
Mixing Characteristics of the Athabasca River Below Fort McMurray – Winter Conditions
Resource
Comprehensive assessment of mixing characteristics of the Athabasca River below Fort McMurray under ice-covered flow conditions. Two tracer tests conducted and analysed using recent theoretical models
Native Employment Patterns in Alberta’s Athabasca Oil Sands Region
Resource
Patterns and trends in native employment and employment training; gaps and ambiguities about employment patterns and employment training programs, and research recommendations
Novel Multilayer Network Analysis to Assess Variation in the Spatial Co-occurrences of Close Kin in Wild Caribou Populations
Resource
Abstract Understanding how individuals within populations are connected genetically and through shared space-use is critical to understanding the demographic patterns of at-risk populations. In recent...
Overview of Local Economic Development in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region Since 1961
Resource
Study to review the economic evolution of the Athabasca Oil Sands region since 1961 including an analysis of historical growth in the local business sectors of Fort McMurray and Fort Chipewyan
Parallel Evolution of Site‐specific Changes in Divergent Caribou Lineages
Resource
The parallel evolution of phenotypes or traits within or between species provides important insight into the basic mechanisms of evolution. Genetic and genomic advances have allowed investigations...
Performance of Grasses, Shrubs and Trees on Disturbed Soil at the AOSERP Mildred Lake Camp Experimental Area
Resource
Objectives were to establish grass, shrub and tree species for evaluation of their response, particularly their reproduction response, to the climatic and edaphic conditions north of Fort McMurray
Performance of Vegetation on Mined Sands
Resource
2nd year of field work and intensive laboratory and greenhouse studies contribute to a much fuller understanding of the factors related to the very successful growth of Jack Pine on sand
Physical Description of Selected Tributary Mouths and Sheltered Backwaters of the Athabasca and Clearwater Rivers
Resource
Physical changes evident at tributary confluences were Secchi visibility, current velocity, and flow direction. At the tributary mouths, sand and silt substrates were predominant in sheltered areas
Physiology and Mechanisms of Airborne Pollutant Injury to Vegetation, 1979-80
Resource
Appreciable changes in biochemical functions in an epiphytic lichen, Evernia mesomorpha, were observed in response to controlled SO2 exposures even at a very low SO2 concentration (0.1 ppm)
Population Dynamics of Caribou Shaped by Glacial Cycles Before the Last Glacial Maximum
Resource
Pleistocene glacial cycles influenced the diversification of high- latitude wildlife species through recurrent periods of range contraction, isolation, divergence, and expansion from refugia and...
Population Structure of Caribou in an Ice-bound Archipelago
Resource
This 2018 academic paper suggests that, based on genetics, the Baffin Island population of caribou should be treated as a separate “designatable unit” under the classification system for the Committee...
Population Trend Analysis for Boreal Caribou in SK2 Central using Non-invasive Capture-Recapture Analysis (2007 – 2019)
Resource
"A 3-year population monitoring program was put in place for a study area within SK2 Central covering 16,092 km2 using fecal DNA based capture–recapture methods to estimate population sizes and...
Potential Productivity of Black Bear Habitat of the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Crude average bear density for the AOSERP study area, including water areas, was 0.18 per km2 assuming total avoidance of muskeg areas and 0.25 per km2 assuming use of muskeg
Preliminary List of Works in Induced Seismicity Related to Fluid Injection
Resource
This list of papers and articles from professional and learned journals was assembled to provide a point of departure for hydrogeological and geomechanical studies in the Cold Lake Oil Sands
Preliminary Recommendations for Mapping of Aquatic Habitat Parameters for the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
3 aspects of aquatic habitat assessment and mapping. 1 - review of the parameters which characterize aquatic habitats. 2 - efficient procedure for collecting the data. 3 - computer mapping techniques
Proceedings of the First Annual Workshop of the Vegetation Technical Research Committee, October 14 &15, 1976
Resource
The extraction of bitumen from the Athabasca Oil Sands can be considered successful only if workable and economically feasible methods of reclamation of the area following mining are developed
Proceedings: Technical Seminar for the Expert Advisory Group to Aquatic Fauna Committee, AOSERP
Resource
The Committee has brought together a group of biological scientists from all across Canada to give us their views on our direction and the questions we should be asking over next three to five years.
