Alberta oil sands tailings ponds are under the concern of releasing greenhouse gases (GHGs) including carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). In this research, Eddy Covariance (EC) technique was used to measure GHGs emissions from an oil sands tailings pond. A tower with EC instruments mounted on...
