Changes in Geographical Runoff Generation in Regions Affected by Climate and Resource Development: A Case Study of the Athabasca River
Resource
The goal of this study is to enhance the understanding of the regional role of the lower Athabasca Basin areas in overall runoff delivery to the downstream Peace-Athabasca Delta. The Cold-regions...
Groundwater Monitoring Near Oil Sands Development: Insights From Regional Water Quality Datasets in the Alberta Oil Sands Region (AOSR)
Resource
Groundwater quality data for the AOSR are compiled and interpreted to provide information on regional water quality to inform groundwater monitoring and land use planning. A database of 546 water...
Groundwater Monitoring Near Oil Sands Development: Insights from Regional Water Quality Datasets in the Alberta Oil Sands Region (AOSR)
Resource
Groundwater quality data for the AOSR are compiled and interpreted to provide information on regional water quality to inform groundwater monitoring and land use planning. A database of 546 water...
High-Resolution Minirhizotrons Advance our Understanding of Root-Fungal Dynamics in an Experimentally Warmed Peatland
Resource
Mycorrhizal fungi enable plants to thrive in the cold, waterlogged, organic soils of boreal peatlands and, with saprotrophic fungi, largely contribute to the sequestration of atmospheric carbon in...
Isotope-based Water Balance Assessment of Open Water Wetlands Across Alberta: Regional Trends with Emphasis on the Oil Sands Region
Resource
Water sampling for stable isotopes ( 18O and 2H) was carried out during 2009–2019 across Alberta, Canada, as part of a survey targeting 1022 open water wetlands. The study presents the first site...

Paleolimnological Assessment of Past Hydro-ecological Variation at a Shallow Hardwater Lake in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region Before Potential Onset of Industrial Development
Resource
Effective environmental monitoring requires knowledge of inherent natural variation. In the absence of pre-development monitoring of aquatic ecosystems, paleolimnological approaches have been...
Plant Functional Traits as Indicator of the Ecological Condition of Wetlands in the Grassland and Parkland of Alberta, Canada
Resource
The analysis of functional trait-habitat relationships has been used to measure the degree to which environmental factors influence the assembly of ecological communities. In the Parkland and...
Recent Climate Change has Driven Divergent Hydrological Shifts in High-latitude Peatlands
Resource
High-latitude peatlands are changing rapidly in response to climate change, including permafrost thaw. Here, we reconstruct hydrological conditions since the seventeenth century using testate amoeba...

Using Stable Isotopes to Track Hydrological Processes at an Oil Sands Mine, Alberta, Canada
Resource
Water samples were collected and analyzed regularly over an eight-year period to establish inventories of site-wide water isotope signatures including seasonal and interannual changes in the recycle...
Variability in Flow and Tracer-based Performance Metric Sensitivities Reveal RFegional Differences in Dominant Hydrological Processes Across the Athabasca River Basin
Resource
This study evaluates whether combined use of streamflow and isotope tracer performance metrics can improve representation of simulated streamflow-generating processes within a large river basin, the...
Warming Response of Peatland CO2 Sink is Sensitive to Seasonality in Warming Trends
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...
Water and Environmental Management in Oil Sands Regions
Resource
This article introduces scientific contributions to the special issue paper collection focusing on water and environmental management in oil sands regions. New hydrological insights for the region...
