OSRIN’s Did You Know Series: The Collected Works
Resource
Did You Know series was a means of highlighting interesting current and historical facts about development, economics and environmental management related to the oil sands.
Overcoming Challenges of Sparse Telemetry Data to Estimate Caribou Movement
Resource
Sparse data sets, such as VHF collar locations, can be used to fit movement models whose parameters could not be estimated directly from the data.
Peatland Ecology Research Group 24th Symposium Abstracts
Resource
Schedule and abstracts from the 24th annual Symposium of the Peatland Ecology Research Group.
Plain Language Explanation of Human Health Risk Assessment
Resource
Key determinants of people’s exposure to chemical pollutants are: time-activity (where we spend time and what we do), interaction with indoor environments, diet, and occupation
Post-fire Peatland Vegetation Recovery: A Case Study in Open Rich Fens of the Canadian Boreal Forest
Resource
Fire plays a major role in structuring and the functioning of boreal ecosystems. As peatlands are important components of boreal forests, the impact of fire upon these wetter ecosystems is...
Potential Impacts of Beaver on Oil Sands Reclamation Success – an Analysis of Available Literature
Resource
Reclaimed mine sites will consist of engineered landforms (including water bodies and waterways); the long-term hydrological and ecological function of those sites may be vulnerable to beaver activity
Potential of LFH Mineral Soil Mixes for Land Reclamation in Alberta
Resource
LFH salvaged with small amounts of upper horizon mineral soil for land reclamation has proven to be an important source of seeds and vegetative propagules for forest plant communities
Potential to Use Animals as Monitors of Ecosystem Health in the Oil Sands Region – July 2013 Update
Resource
Research on wildlife species, used as either monitors, or indicator species, can provide early warning and predictive information regarding exposure and effects of contaminants from oil sands
Predicting Patterns of Terrestrial Lichen Biomass Recovery Following Boreal Wildfires
Resource
New allometric equations to estimate lichen biomass from field measurements of lichen cover and height; allometries were consistent among ecoprovinces, suggesting generalizability
Preliminary Watershed Hydrology Model for Reclaimed Oil Sands Sites
Resource
Modelling results for the regional watersheds were encouraging and demonstrate that SWATBF has the potential to be utilized as a practical tool for conducting hydrologic assessments in the oil sands
Professional Judgment in Mineable Oil Sands Reclamation Certification: Workshop Summary
Resource
Given the extensive experience of workshop participants, it was surprising to see how little confidence they had in using only their knowledge and experience to make reclamation certification decision
Range Fidelity: The Missing Link Between Caribou Decline and Habitat Alteration?
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...
Re-establishment of Peatland Vegetation Following Surface Leveling of Decommissioned In Situ Oil Mining Infrastructures
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...
Report and Recommendations of the Task Force on Tree and Shrub Planting on Active Oil Sands Tailings Dams
Resource
Trees and woody shrubs on the slopes of active oil sands tailings dam shall be considered part of the responsibility of the Engineer-of-Record and plans will be submitted to Dam Safety for approval
Restoration of Boreal Peatland Impacted by an In-situ Oil Sands Well-pad 1: Vegetation Response
Resource
The prompt introduction and establishment of peatland donor species through moss layer transfer technique was crucial to the overall re-establishment of peatland vegetation.
Restoring Drained Peatlands: A Necessary Step to Achieve Global Climate Goals
Resource
Peatlands cover about 400 million hectares (ha), or 3% of the land surface of our planet. Yet they store more carbon, more effectively and for longer periods, than any other ecosystem on land. Intact...
Review of Four Major Environmental Effects Monitoring Programs in the Oil Sands Region
Resource
Fact Sheets for each of the four monitoring programs: ABMI, CEMA, RAMP and WBEA. Stakeholders lack detailed understanding of the suite of monitoring activities taking place in the oil sands
Review of Health Effects of Naphthenic Acids: Data Gaps and Implications for Understanding Human Health Risk
Resource
A review of literature was undertaken as a first step in framing potential human health risk associated with exposure to OSPW-derived naphthenic acids in surface water
Review of Reclamation Options for Oil Sands Tailings Substrates
Resource
State of knowledge related to technologies for reclaiming oil sands tailings substrates to upland boreal forests and wetlands
