Analyses are given for up to 12 metals and 4 pesticides with PCBs, of aquatic environment from 15 study sites along or near the Athabasca River from Fort McMurray north to the confluence of the Peace and Slave Rivers. There were 560 fish (8 species), 15 water, 14 sediment and a few phyto-plankton...

Calculations of annual averaged sulphur dioxide concentrations at ground level in the AOSERP study area
Download1977
The Climatological Dispersion Model and the input data required for calculation of annual averaged values of sulphur dioxide concentrations at ground level are described. The most important meteorological input to the model is the long-term joint frequency distribution of winds in the vicinity of...

Heavy metal dynamics in the Athabasca River: Sediment concentrations prior to major Alberta oil sands development
Download1977
Exploitation of the bituminous sands may elevate heavy metal levels in the sediments of drainage systems of the AOSERP area via waterborne or airborne emissions. One hundred and six dredged sediments and twenty-four sediment cores were collected from the Athabasca River system from just above...

Interim report on an intensive study of the fish fauna of the Muskeg River watershed of northeastern Alberta
Download1977-01-01
The fish fauna of the Muskeg River was studied during spring and summer, 1976. Migrations of non-resident fish from the Athabasca River into the Muskeg River watershed were monitored through the use of a two-way counting fence between 28 April and 30 July. A total of 6153 fish were passed through...
