An Examination of the Effect of Diluent on Microbial Dynamics in Oil Sands Tailings and the Mechanistic Insight on Carbon Dioxide-mediated Turbidity Reduction in Oil Sands Surface Water
DownloadFall 2019
Oil sands fluid fine tailings (FFT) are comprised of sand, silt, clay, residual organics, salt, trace metals and process-affected water (OSPW). In order to accommodate and remediate large amounts of FFT, a full-scale demonstration pit lake, where FFT was capped with a mixture of OSPW and fresh...

Geomorphic landform design and long-term assessment of tailings storage facilities in the Athabasca oil sands
DownloadFall 2019
In stark contrast to historic mine abandonment, current international best practices in mine reclamation call for geomorphic designs and stability (physical and chemical) for a minimum of 1000 years. Current regulations in Alberta state that post-mining landforms shall be maintenance-free with...

The Town of Peace River is over hundred years old. It was heavily urbanized by the late 1970s. Development extended to the geologically immature valley slopes of the Peace River and its tributaries. Triggered by various agents, landslides caused damage to houses and infrastructure developed on...

Meeting the Water for Life challenge: Management scenarios to improve irrigation water use efficiency and reduce water demand in the Western Irrigation District, Alberta
DownloadFall 2012
Simulation of two alternative management scenarios - full rehabilitation and implementation of most efficient technologies, and water application restrictions - were investigated with the Irrigation Demand Model (IDM) as potential avenues to improve water use efficiency and reduce water demand in...

Wildfires are a natural part of Canadian ecosystems, but sometimes pose a threat to people. In Canada, when public safety is threatened by a wildfire encroaching into the wildland-urban interface (WUI), local authorities will typically recommend and lead evacuation of the area. During...

Turbidity Mitigation in an Oil Sands End Pit Lake through pH Reduction and Fresh Water Addition
DownloadFall 2016
The remediation of oil sands wastes such as fluid fine tailings (FFT) and oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) are of increasing concern in the oil sands industry. End pit lakes are one remediation option currently being researched at commercial scale in Base Mine Lake (BML) operated by...
