Spatial variations of total and dissolved trace elements and their distributions amongst major colloidal forms along and across the Lower Athabasca River
DownloadFall 2020
The Athabasca River (AR) is the longest river in Alberta with a wide variety of natural and potential anthropogenic inputs. The purpose of this study was to quantify the spatial variation of trace element (TE) concentrations and forms in this aquatic system. Water samples were gathered along a...

Synthesis of surface water hydrology
1979
The drainage system of the study area consists of a number of rivers draining from the west and from the east into the Athabasca River north of Fort McMurray, as well as a few rivers which join the Athabasca near Fort McMurray and drain areas to the south and east. Runoff from within the study...

Giles, M. A., Lawrence, S. G., Klaverkamp, J. F.
In order to conduct oil sands mining operations in the surface mining region of the Athabasca oil sands deposits, most regions require depressurization of the basal sandstone formations. The groundwater produced by depressurization operations is of poor enough quality to be toxic to fish. The...

The ecology of macrobenthic invertebrate communities in Hartley Creek, Northeastern Alberta
Download1979
McElhone, M., Crowther, R., Davies, R. W., Hartland-Rowe, R. C. B.
Hartley Creek, a tributary of the Muskeg River in the Athabasca Oil Sands area of northeastern Alberta, has a discharge ranging between 0.5 and 7 m3.s-1 , experiences temperatures ranging between 0° and about 18°C, and has high oxygen concentrations at all seasons. The benthic fauna is rich and...
