Application of SWAT-MODFLOW Software to Evaluate Groundwater-Surface Water Interaction in West-Central Alberta
DownloadFall 2018
Responsible watershed management is emerging as a key issue as humanity continues to place increasing demands on water resources. To meet future demands, it has become imperative that water resources be managed as a holistic system rather than solely focusing on individual aspects....

COARSE WOODY DEBRIS EFFECTS ON BIOGEOCHEMISTRY IN TWO RECONSTRUCTED SOILS IN THE ATHABASCA OIL SANDS REGION IN ALBERTA, CANADA
DownloadFall 2015
Forest floor mineral soil mix (FMM) and peat mineral soil mix (PMM) are cover soils commonly used for land reclamation post open pit oil sands mining in northern Alberta, Canada. While in such land reclamation practices the organic matter comes from the peat material salvaged before land...

Effects of Root Zone pH, Calcium and Phosphorus Supply on Selected Boreal Forest Plant Species
DownloadSpring 2015
Soil pH is among the major environmental factors affecting plant growth. In the reclaimed areas following open-pit oil sands mining in northeastern Alberta, Canada, the pH of reclaimed soil is commonly higher than 8.0. The optimum range of soil pH for growth and the tolerance of pH extremes...

Nutrient Loading of Aspen, Jack Pine and White Spruce Seedlings for Potential Out-planting in Oil Sands Reclamation
DownloadFall 2012
Low nutrient availability and competing vegetation are some of the issues facing tree crop establishment for land reclamation in the oil sands region. A possible solution to both problems is to load seedlings with nutrients while they are in the nursery. Here, I report on results from a research...

Patterns of stream temperature and the influence of groundwater in northern Rocky Mountain watersheds
DownloadFall 2023
Stream temperature is an important water quality parameter linked to biotic and abiotic processes that influence the abundance and distribution of aquatic organisms. Stream temperatures can be highly variable through space and time and are determined by energy flux processes. Key energy flux...

Physics of wastewater flow and pathogen transport processes from a soil-based at-grade effluent treatment system and associated groundwater contamination risks in Alberta, Canada
DownloadSpring 2015
Understanding of wastewater flow and transport processes and treatment effectiveness through the soil-absorption field of soil-based wastewater treatment systems remains a challenge. In addition, Alberta regulators and the on-site wastewater industry wanted to quantify the effectiveness of the...

SOIL BIOGEOCHEMICAL PROCESSES AND FINE ROOT DYNAMICS OF VEGETATION IN LFH MINERAL SOIL MIX AND PEAT MINERAL SOIL MIX ORGANIC CAPPING MATERIALS USED FOR OIL SANDS RECLAMATION
DownloadFall 2016
Peat mineral soil mix (PMM) and LFH, identifiable litter (L), fragmented litter (F) and humus (H), mineral soil (MS) mix are organic capping materials commonly used over overburden (OB) and tailings sand (TS) substrate materials in oil sands reclamation. These organic capping materials have...

Fall 2015
The recent open pit mining for oil sands in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region (AOSR), northern Alberta has created an unprecedented industrial scale disturbance whose ecological consequences is not well understood, and requires intensive investigation. This study focused on the temporal dynamics of...

The Short-term Impacts of Aspen Clear-cutting on Upland Groundwater RechargeClear-cutting Impacts on Groundwater Recharge
DownloadSpring 2011
The impacts of aspen clear-cutting on upland groundwater recharge are presented based on two years (2007-2008) of the five year (2005-2009) HEAD2 NSERC-CRD paired-catchment experiment. Research was conducted at the Utikuma Region Study Area (URSA), 370 km north of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, in...
