Microcosm Evaluation of Community Level Physiological Profiling in Oil Sands Process Affected Water
Download2012-11-02
Eaton, B., Humphries, D., Davies, J.
A microcosm-based experiment was conducted to investigate the ability of community level physiological profiling (CLPP) to detect changes in an aquatic microbial community resulting from exposure to oil sands process affected water (OSPW). Detection of the microbial response was done by using...

Evaluation, analysis, and assessment of snowpack and precipitation data from a monitoring network in the AOSERP study area
Download1985
Heidorn, K., Stevens, D., Todd, S., Fellin, P., Davis, C. S.
The data and network operating procedures from the precipitation and snow sampling networks in the AOSERP area of Alberta were reviewed and assessed. The data was first reformatted into NAQUADAT format and then quality assured by several screening procedures including outlier tests, simultaneous...

Characterization of organic constituents in waters and wastewaters of the Athabasca oil sands mining area
Download1978
The organic constituents of wastewaters discharged from the Great Canadian Oil Sands Ltd. (GCOS) plant and the Syncrude Canada Ltd. lease No. 17 were characterized and compared to those occurring naturally in the Athabasca River. Of the 16 chemical groups investigated in samples of upgrading...
