Characterizing the Impacts of Seismic Exploration Lines on the Hydrology and Vadose Zone for a Watershed in West-Central Alberta
DownloadFall 2023
Seismic lines are long linear cut lines through forests created for hydrocarbon exploration and comprise over 50 % of all linear disturbances in the Canadian Boreal Forest. They are known to impact local eco-hydrological conditions and show minimal regeneration back to pre-disturbance conditions....

Chemical and biological monitoring of muskeg drainage at the Alsands project site. Volume 1: Review of available data on the Muskeg River
Download1981
The available literature on the Muskeg River and its tributaries was critically reviewed as a background for monitoring' studies conducted on the river in 1980. The review indicated that the literature provides a basic description of the ecology of selected streams within the Muskeg River basin....

Lipsett, A. W., Neill, C. R., Evans, B. J.
The objective of the study was to describe how water and sediment from the Athabasca River are distributed through the delta system and how they circulate and mix in Lake Athabasca and flow through to the Slave River, with a view to understanding the pathways ano destinations of contaminants that...

Conceptualizing Water Movement in the Boreal Plains. Implications for Watershed Reconstruction
Download2012-01-01
Devito, K., Mendoza, C., Qualizza, C.
The aim of this document is to provide guidance on landscape reconstruction based on the results of more than a decade of research in natural forest systems on the Boreal Plains. It is hoped that the synthesis will prove useful to a range of audiences – from general readers interested in the...

Development of a GIS Water Table Visualization Tool (WTVT) for Determining Water Table Position in Heterogeneous Landscapes in the Boreal Plains Ecozone, Alberta
DownloadFall 2015
The Boreal Plain is currently undergoing an unprecedented rate of land use change from oil and gas extraction as well as forestry. This change needs to be managed responsibly to ensure the long term sustainability of the region, both ecologically and economically. As part of this understanding...

Effects of Alternative Forest Harvesting Strategies on Snowpack Dynamics and Seasonal Soil Moisture Storage in Alberta's Mountain Headwaters
DownloadFall 2019
Snowpack accumulation and melt dynamics, and soil moisture storage (SMS) play a critical role in regulating stressed regional water supplies in the southern Alberta Rockies. However, these processes are sensitive to impacts from forest cover losses by timber harvesting and associated land...

Effects of aspen harvesting on groundwater recharge and water table dynamics in a subhumid climate
Download2011
Devito, K.J., Mendoza, C.A., Smerdon, B.D., Carrera-Hernández, J. J., Petrone, R.M.
Numerical experiments were developed using different water table depths and soil textures to investigate the impact of aspen harvesting on hydrological processes on the Western Boreal Plain. The effect of harvesting on soil moisture dynamics, fluxes at the water table, and water table fluctuation...

1979
Prior to 1975 information on surface water hydrology in the oil sands area was very limited. During 1975 and 1976 a number of hydrometric gauging stations were provided by AOSERP to bring the total number of stations in the area to 32. Measurements of standard water quality parameters began at...

Understanding the controls on water movement on forested uplands is critical in predicting the potential effects of disturbance on the sustainability of water resources. I examined the controls on vertical and lateral water movement on forested uplands on a range of landforms (coarse textured...

Hydrology, water chemistry and vegetation characteristics of a tamarack bog in Bath Township, Ohio
Download2005
Miletti T., Fraser, L. H., Carlyle, C. N., Landaw A., Picard C.
The current state of the Bath Tamarack Bog has raised concern about the health and function of the system. Only 6 tamarack (Larix laricina) trees remain, while deciduous trees, particularly red maple (Acer rubrum) and invasive species such as glossy buckthorn (Rhamnus frangula) and multiflora...
