Analysis of fur production records for registered traplines in the AOSERP study area, 1970-75
Download1978
Between 1970 and 1975, the AOSERP study area contained up to 131 registered trapping areas (traplines). Traplines averaged 165.8 km2 (64 mi 2) in area. For the four trapping seasons 1971-72 to 1974-75, affidavits reporting trapper harvests were available for an average of 75 percent of the...

Analysis of the leisure delivery system 1972-1979 with projections for future servicing requirements
Download1980
The increase in the population of Fort McMurray, which since the early 1960's has been associated with commercial exploitation of the Athabasca Oil Sands, has necessitated the institution and continuous expansion of recreational and cultural service delivery systems in the region. In 1979,...

Application of Forward Osmosis Membrane Technology for Oil Sands Process-Affected Water Desalination
Download2014-10-01
The extraction process used to obtain bitumen from the oil sands produces large volumes of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW). As a newly emerging desalination technology, forward osmosis (FO) has shown great promise in saving electrical power requirements, increasing water recovery, and...
