Synthesis of surface water hydrology
1979
The drainage system of the study area consists of a number of rivers draining from the west and from the east into the Athabasca River north of Fort McMurray, as well as a few rivers which join the Athabasca near Fort McMurray and drain areas to the south and east. Runoff from within the study...

The ecology of macrobenthic invertebrate communities in Hartley Creek, Northeastern Alberta
Download1979
McElhone, M., Crowther, R., Davies, R. W., Hartland-Rowe, R. C. B.
Hartley Creek, a tributary of the Muskeg River in the Athabasca Oil Sands area of northeastern Alberta, has a discharge ranging between 0.5 and 7 m3.s-1 , experiences temperatures ranging between 0° and about 18°C, and has high oxygen concentrations at all seasons. The benthic fauna is rich and...
