Airshed management system for the Alberta oil sands: Volume III: Verification and sensitivity studies
Download1981
Davies, M. J. E., Davison, D. S., Hansen, M. C., Rudolph, R. C.
A climatological air quality dispersion was developed which provides more powerful analyses capabilities than are available in traditional COM-type models. The model incorporates a time series approach to satisfy identified user needs. The three components of the model are: the time series file...

An assessment of the adequacy of baseline data relevant to the documentation and evaluation of the impacts of oil sands development on black bear in the AOSERP study area
Download1978
The objectives of this critique are to evaluate whether or not the state of baseline knowledge is adequate to assess the impacts of large developments on the black bear population in the AOSERP study area. This critique will further identify specific knowledge gaps for which information must be...
