Preliminary evaluation of Speswhite kaolin as a physical analogue material for unsaturated oil sands tailings
Download2023-10-02
Thin-lift deposition of treated oil sands tailings is currently investigated as a potential solution for creating a trafficable cap layer for future reclamation activities. To determine the optimal thickness of the cap layer, physical modeling experiments using the 50g-ton geotechnical beam...

Near-Wellbore Salinity Effect on Sand Control Plugging by Fines Migration in Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage Producer Wells
DownloadFall 2023
Sand control screens are necessary for steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) wells drilled into oil sands to prevent sand production. However, the accumulation of mobilized fine particles near the wellbore can result in screen plugging, adversely affecting the well's flow performance. This...

Boxed-in: Comparing Algorithms for Box-flight Mass-Balance Greenhouse Gas Flux Measurements from Mineable and In Situ Oil Sands Developments
DownloadSpring 2022
To combat global warming, Canada has committed to reducing greenhouse gases (GHGs) 40-45% below 2005 emission levels by 2025. Monitoring emissions and deriving accurate inventories are essential to reaching these goals. GHGs can be measured at a small scale, often using ground measurements which...

Calibration and Validation of a SWAT model for the quantification of water provision ecosystem service for the Conservation Area of Guanacaste
DownloadFall 2021
Water is considered a cross-cutting resource for all the ecosystem services (ES) types, namely: for the provision of drinking water and food; regulation through flood control; guarantee of a suitable habitat for fauna and flora; and inspiration for many cultures and their intangible heritage...

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...

Identifying Factors that Influence the Sustainability of a Gravity-Fed Water System in Rural Haiti
DownloadSpring 2020
Background: The sustainability of water supply systems in rural, low resource settings is imperative to address as approximately 25% of water systems fail within four years of installation. Due to a long history of political instability, government corruption, countless natural disasters, and...
