Meteorological factors affecting ambient SO2 concentrations near an oil sands extraction plant
Download1980
Peters, R. R., Strosher, M. M.
Occurrences of maximum 0.5 h hour ground level measurements of SO2 near a point source are related to the meteorological processes at the time such that a cause analysis of the occurrences is established. Measurements, from a 10 station, continuous air quality monitoring network, range from 0.12...

In March 1976, the first in a series of intensive field studies was carried out in the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program study area in northeastern Alberta to examine the fine structure of the atmosphere and dispersion characteristics under winter conditions. The study comprised...

Geesy, G. G., Costerton, J. W.
The 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. Monthly samples over an annual cycle beginning in May 1976 showed this population ranged from 1 x 105 to 2...

This report presents the results of a comprehensive assessment of mixing characteristics of the Athabasca River below Fort McMurray under ice-covered flow conditions. A brief review of mixing processes in natural streams is followed by a description of two tracer tests conducted in February 1978...

Two versions of the mesoscale, one-level, primitive equations wind model of Danard (1977) have been adapted to northeastern Alberta. The model starts from a surface wind obtained from a balance between large-scale pressure gradient, Coriolis, and frictional forces. The surface temperatures and...

Hunt, T., Deines, A., Littlejohn, C.
The Canadian Institute for Research was commissioned in April 1978, by the Government of the Province of Alberta, Department of the Environment, to undertake a study designed to generate research problems and questions pertinent to a study of native employment patterns in the Athabasca Oil Sands...

Peter C. Nichols & Associates Ltd.
This study was commissioned to review the economic evolution of the Athabasca Oil Sands region since 1961. The research involved, first, the identification, review, and analysis of existing data sources and that information is included in an annotated bibliography. The existing information base...

Performance of grasses, shrubs and trees on disturbed soil at the AOSERP Mildred Lake Camp experimental area
Download1980
Fedkenheuer, A. W., Chu, C. B.
The plants referred to in this report were initially established on the AOSERP Mildred Lake Camp area in 1977. The objectives of the program were to establish grass, shrub and tree species for evaluation of their response, particularly their reproduction response, to the climatic and edaphic...

Physical description of selected tributary mouths and sheltered backwaters of the Athabasca and Clearwater rivers
Download1980
A survey of the physical characteristics of the aquatic habitats at 25 locations on the Athabasca and Clearwater rivers was conducted during August 1978. The parameters determined at each site were current velocity and direction, depth, Secchi disc visibility, substrate composition, and...

Several important biochemical functions in an epiphytic lichen, EVernia mesomorpha, in response to controlled SO2 exposures were studied. Appreciable changes in these functions were observed even at a very low SO2 concentration (0.1 ppm), suggesting that epiphytic lichens are probably one of the...
