Gorrell, H.A. (Study Coordinator)
In May of 1974, the Oil Sands Environment Study Group (O.S.E.S.G.) authorized a First Phase Regional Hydrogeological Study of the McMurray Oil Sands area in Alberta. The objects of the assigned study were to: • Determine the present availability of pertinent hydrogeological data. • Interpret this...

A regular program of water quality sampling has been instituted throughout the region of current oil sands development in northeastern Alberta. The goals of this program were to provide a base of background information on an extensive number of water quality parameters to enable the employment of...

Relationships between habitats, forages and carrying capacity of moose range in Northern Alberta Part 1: Moose preferences for habitat and strata and forages
Download1978
Relationships between moose (Alces alces andersoni) and the habitat strata and forages available to them in northern Alberta were studied within the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program (AOSERP) study area during fall (September through November 1976) and winter (December 1976 through...

Hurndall, B.J., Sobkowicz, J., Morgenstern, N.R., Kupper, A.
Dam safety concern over the planting of trees and woody shrubs is in conflict with progressive reclamation, which is also a desirable outcome for oil sands tailings dams. International dam safety practice commonly restricts trees and woody shrubs on the downstream slopes of dams to preclude...

Insect communities were sampled in 12 sites representative of major vegetation types in the study area of the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program (AOSERP). Insect biomass in 1978 averaged 8.2 kg ha-2 (oven dry weight), ranging from 2.8 kg (jack pine site) to 31.1 kg (fen site). In...

Van Dyke, E. W., Church, L. M., Loberg, C., Bai, D.
With the increase in incidence of resource development particularly in Alberta, several new towns have grown to accommodate the workers. Several types of social problems have come to be identified with these resource communities. This present study attempts to identify the social problems that...

Bidgood, B. F., Baldwin, H. A.
Design techniques are presented for a very high frequency telemetry system capable of transmitting short radio frequency pulse signals from the body of a fish to an aircraft flying over a river. The system design has considered the water chemistry and river turbulence of the Athabasca River in...

Response of confined aquatic biota to mine depressurization water in Beaver Creek reservoir
Download1980
Chymko, N.R., Jantzie, T., Noton, L.
Beaver Creek Reservoir was formed as a result of diverting the natural flow of Beaver Creek away from mine and plant areas and southward to the Athabasca River via Poplar Creek. The diversion was initiated in the fall of 1975 with the closure of the Beaver Creek Dam; filling of the reservoir was...
