Transportation infrastructure system is a key component of smart and sustainable cities. To support the development of future smart cities, the efficiency and sustainability of transportation infrastructure systems must be improved. In this context, there is an increasing demand for efficient and...

Data associated with Matveev et al: Sense Induced Flow - Active use of ambient flow by a deep-sea glass sponge
Download2021-08-10
Matveev, E, Leys SP, Yahel G, Kahn AS, Aragones P, Ludeman D, Eerkes-Medrano D
How flow moves through porous structures like sponges is a fluid dynamic problem that has challenged physical and biological scientists. Sponges possess biological pump cells that are known to drive water flow, and yet their porous bodies have often been proposed to take advantage of ambient...

Huang, Q., Wang, H., Lewis, M.A.
Industrial contaminants are one of the leading causes of pollution worldwide. It has been shown that 13 elements considered priority water pollutants by the US Environmental Protection Agency are present in the Athabasca River and are found in oil sands process-affected water. There are likely...

The oil sands industry in Alberta produces large volumes of process-affected water (PAW), which is known to contain heavy metals and organic compounds (such as naphthenic acids, naphthalene, phenanthrene, pyrene, etc.) that are toxic and hazardous to the environment. The industry has an ongoing...

Thompson, M. D., Kirby, M. E., Wride, M. C.
The purpose of this study was to prepare ecological habitat working maps at a scale of 1:50,000 from false colour infrared photographs of the AOSERP study area obtained in 1977, and to evaluate multispectral and multistage remote sensing techniques for application to mapping and monitoring in the...

Salmonids are stocked around the world to create and enhance fishing opportunities. Most research into the effects of trout on lake ecosystems has occurred in alpine and other oligotrophic systems, often naturally fishless, where negative impacts are likely. In contrast, I investigated effects of...

1979
Prior to 1975 information on surface water hydrology in the oil sands area was very limited. During 1975 and 1976 a number of hydrometric gauging stations were provided by AOSERP to bring the total number of stations in the area to 32. Measurements of standard water quality parameters began at...
