A range-wide common garden experiment of white spruce indicates population differentiation in drought tolerance traits
DownloadFall 2019
In western regions of the Canadian boreal forest, mean annual temperature has increased by 1.5 to 2.5 °C, significantly exceeding the mean global temperature increase. Climate conditions have also become drier and together these climate trends have induced widespread growth reductions, dieback...

Isotopic and Geochemical Tracers for Fingerprinting Process-Affected Waters in the Oil Sands Industry: A Pilot Study
Download2011-04-04
Jasechko, K., Gibson, J.J., Moncur, M., Birks, S.J., Tattrie, S., Yi, Y., Eby, P., Richardson, K.
A pilot study was conducted by Alberta Innovates – Technology Futures during 2009 and 2010 to assess potential for labelling process-affected water from oil sands operations using a suite of isotopic and geochemical tracers, including inorganic and organic compounds in water. The study was...

Sedimentology, diagenesis, and dolomitization of the Brac Formation (Lower Oligocene), Cayman Brac, British West Indies
DownloadFall 2009
The Oligocene Brac Formation is the oldest part of the Bluff Group that is exposed on Cayman Brac. Sediments of the Brac Formation were deposited on a small, open bank in shallow marine waters. Today, the formation is composed of limestone, finely crystalline dolostone, and coarsely crystalline...

We develop a method for searching for Hajós constructions. Our results include the discovery of new constructions for some well-known graphs, including the Grötzsch graph, Chvátal graph, and Brinkmann graph; also, we prove that the first two of these are shortest possible constructions. These are...

The Alaska Highway through Southwestern Yukon is located in the discontinuous permafrost zone with many areas of the highway corridor associated with degrading permafrost. Given the strategic value of the corridor, it is critical to have a clear understanding of permafrost characteristics and...

Diagnostic Features of the Rocks and Minerals Peripheral to the Highland Valley Copper District, British Columbia, Canada: Implications for the genesis of porphyry Cu systems and their footprints
DownloadSpring 2019
The Highland Valley Copper (HVC) porphyry Cu (±Mo) district is Canada’s largest and longest operating mine. Globally, exploration expenditure has been increasing, yet very few new resources have been discovered, despite the anticipated Cu demand for the future. Hosted in the Triassic Guichon...

Characterizing the Organic Composition of Snow and Surface Water Across the Athabasca Region: Phase 2
Download2014-12-15
Gibson, J., Birks, J., Cho, S., Taylor, E., Yi, Y.
This study was conducted to characterize the composition of polar dissolved organic compounds present in snow and surface waters in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region (AOSR) with the goal of identifying whether atmospherically-derived organics present in snow are an important contributor to the...

Chalaturnyk, R., Azam, S., Scott, J. D.
Abstract: Laterites are the main source of economic metals such as nickel and cobalt. In many parts of the globe, these metals are extracted using the pressure acid leach operation. An efficient rate of sedimentation and a high solids content of the material are two prerequisites for this...
