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...

Thompson, D. C., Ealey, D. M., McCourt, K. H.
Three of the tenets upon which the Canada-Alberta agreement for the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program (AOSERP) is founded are: 1. Canada and Alberta recognize the necessity of improving the scientific understanding of the effects of the oil sands development on human and natural...

An ecophysiological investigation of the jackpine woodland with reference to revegetation of mined sands
Download1980
This project was conceived as a multidisciplinary integrated study to determine the physiological limits of native and non-native species to dry, nutrient-poor environmental conditions on a steep-sided sand dike and on sand piles. Only when the limits of survival are known for native and...

An intensive study of the fish fauna of the Steepbank River watershed of northeastern Alberta
Download1979-01-01
A study of the fish fauna of the Steepbank River was conducted during the open water period, 1977. Utilization of the Steepbank system by migrant fish from the Athabasca River was assessed by means of a two-way counting fence. Fish movements were monitored from 25 April to 29 May, and from 12...
