Oil sands mining is a significant disturbance in the Canadian boreal forest. One objective for reclamation after mining is to create a self-sustaining ecosystem, which includes establishing a native plant community. For this thesis, study one evaluates the different plant assembly mechanisms,...

During March 1976, a plume survey field program was conducted to determine the diffusion coefficients and turbulence parameters associated with the GCOS effluent plume. Airborne measurements were conducted under various meteorological conditions ranging from stable inversions to neutral stability...

During June 1977, a plume survey field program was conducted about the Great Canadian Oil Sands (GCOS) site to determine the plume geometry and associated turbulent parameters. Airborne measurements were conducted by INTERA's research aircraft under various meteorological conditions co-ordinated...
