1973
The study reported here was initiated on July 26, 1971, to provide ecological baseline information on Beaver Creek. Field surveys were carried out from August 7th to August 24th. Of particular interest to this study was the acquisition of quantitative data on fisheries populations as a means of...

Migration watches were conducted from 21 August to 15 October 1984 near the site of Syncrude Canada Ltd.' s bitumen mining, extraction and upgrading development north of Fort McMurray, Alberta. These watches were undertaken to complement studies of birds using the waterbodies in the area of the...

The conservation equations governing buoyant plume rise are solved for the case of non-uniform wind conditions. A simple power law is selected to represent the actual wind profile. Analytical solutions are presented both for uniformly stable and neutral atmospheric conditions. These solutions...

The random fluctuations of concentration levels in a plume is studied using a wind tunnel simulation of dispersion in the neutrally stable atmospheric boundary layer. A fast response hot - film probe is developed and used to measure high frequency fluctuations of helium tracer concentration in...

Straker, Justin R., Carey, Sean K., Petrone, Richard M., Baker, Trevor D., Strilesky, Stacey L.
This report synthesizes over 15 years of research (and 64 site-years of data) on water use, carbon assimilation, and associated ecosystem development on reclaimed oil-sands-mine sites and on non-mine reference sites. A key feature of this research is the use of eddy-covariance methods to make...

1980
The interaction between the turbulent wake, created by a tailings pond dike and the low level emissions at the Syncrude Tar Sands Plant has been investigated using wind tunnel model simulation. At the large Reynolds numbers experienced by model and full-scale dike the flow remains attached to the...

Maddukuri, C.S., Slawson, P.R., Davidson, G.A.
The plume rise, spread and supporting meterological and source data given in Slawson et al (1978) were further analyzed in order to provide a more suitable data set upon which a site-tuned plume dispersion model could be developed. This dispersion model was considered to consist of a buoyant...
