Systematic Review and Research Gaps on Wildfire Evacuations: Infrastructure, Transportation Modes, Networks, and Planning
Download2023-11-01
Zehra, Syeda N., Wong, Stephen D.
Wildfires pose significant threats to communities, requiring robust pre-event planning for efficient evacuations. Transportation systems are crucial for these efforts, yet global research gaps persist, especially those related to transportation assets and transportation modes beyond vehicles....

Babaei, Mohammad Hossein, Wong, Stephen D.
Disasters significantly impact communities, often require large-scale evacuations, and damage key infrastructure (e.g., power, transportation). With growing electric vehicle (EV) adoption and electrification of transportation, governments and utilities may face significant power challenges during...

The impacts of changing flight demands and throughput performance on airport delays through the Great Recession
Download2019-11-07
Several significant events between 2007 and 2009 impacted flight demands and the abilities of the three major New York area airports to handle demand. This paper assesses the results of applying a probabilistic simulation method – which isolates the individual contributions of changes in flight...

The role of carbonate mineral dissolution in turbidity reduction in an oil sands end pit lake
The role of carbonate mineral dissolution in turbidity reduction in an oil sands end pit lake
Download2021-01-01
Ho Yin Poon, Heidi L. Cossey, Amy-lynne Balaberda, Ania C. Ulrich
Surface water turbidity from dispersed clay particles can hinder the development of aquatic ecosystems. One of the primary objectives for proposed oil sands end pit lakes is that they support ecological functions and lake-specific wildlife habitat. However, high surface water turbidity has been...

TMSim_Consol
2021-06-04
Implemented in GoldSim, TMSim_Consol uses an explicit finite difference method to calculate the void ratio at each time step. Excess pore pressure and effective stress in each layer are then derived from void ratio. In addition to the specific gravity (Gs) and geometric properties of the deposit,...

Tolerance and cytotoxicity of naphthenic acids on microorganisms isolated from oil sands process-affected water
Tolerance and cytotoxicity of naphthenic acids on microorganisms isolated from oil sands process-affected water
Download2019-01-01
The expansion of oil sands has made remediation of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) critical. As naphthenic acids (NAs) are the primary contributors to toxicity, remediation is required. Bioremediation by native microorganisms is potentially effective, however, toxicity of NAs towards...

Transportation Infrastructure Decision Flexibility in Response to Climate Change and Demand Uncertainties: The Mackenzie Valley Highway in Canada’s Northwest Territories.
Download2022-03-01
Li, Huanan, Kim, Amy M., Jin, Jianjing
Barge transport operations on the Mackenzie River, a major transportation corridor in the Northwest Territories, are impacted by multiple sources of uncertainties. In particular, the impacts of climate change on this important corridor have led to summer shipping seasons that are growing more...

Turbidity Mitigation in an Oil Sands Pit Lake through pH Reduction and Fresh Water Addition
Turbidity Mitigation in an Oil Sands Pit Lake through pH Reduction and Fresh Water Addition
Download2018-01-01
Ho Yin Poon; Jordan T. Brandon; Xiaoxuan Yu; Ania C. Ulrich
Currently, tailings ponds are used to contain oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) and fluid fine tailings (FFT) generated from the Alberta oil sands mining operations. In 2016, the government of Alberta introduced a tailings management directive providing guidance for reclamation efforts in...
