Abstract: An 18.2-ha coal tailings impoundment that reached full capacity in 1989 has since been undergoing reclamation activities. The impoundment is sectioned into coarse, intermediate, and fine tails regions. The fine tails region, which consists of saturated silt and clay-size soil and coal...

From the Surface is an exhibition haunted by the presence of the global ecological crisis. As I implicate the viewer in a web of associations between word, image, and thing, I invite contemplation of our place in a changing world. I seek to unsettle the comfortable illusion that humanity is...

Genetic diversity and selection in North American red squirrels (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus): A Hamiltonian perspective into the processes and mechanisms of evolution
DownloadFall 2013
The theory of natural selection has advanced our understanding in every aspect of biological sciences, yet despite this seeming ubiquity, there remain some components that are not fully resolved. Natural selection predicts the “selfish” advancement of genes that are optimally suited for their...

Trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) is a dioecious clonal tree species with broad distribution in North America. In dioecious species, sexes are predicted to perform differently, based on the principle of allocation and the energy costs associated with reproduction. Aspen reproduce...

Hacke, U.G., Schreiber, S.G., Hamann, A., Thomas, B.R.
•Intensive forestry systems and breeding programs often include either native aspen or hybrid poplar clones, and performance and trait evaluations are mostly made within these two groups. Here, we assessed how traits with potential adaptive value varied within and across these two plant groups....

Reclamation of oil sands fluid fine tailings (FFT) is a challenge for mine operators in Alberta because of their high water content and slow self-weight dewatering. Chemical additives, including polymer flocculants, are used by operators as a treatment technology to reduce volumes and increase...

Industrial development is transforming Alberta's landscapes, with largely unquantified effects on wildlife species. Open-pit mining is occurring on vast expanses, most notably for bitumen but also extensively for coal in a rich seam that traverses the province. Major concerns have developed over...

Bitumen recovery from oil sands in northeastern Alberta, Canada produces large volumes of tailings, which are deposited in mining areas that must be reclaimed upon mine closure. A new technology of non-segregated tailings (NST) developed by Canadian Natural Resources Limited (CNRL) was designed...
