Oil Sands Monitoring Program Integration Workshop Reports (Parts 1 of 2)
This report provides the results of seven technical integration workshops sponsored by the Oil Sands Monitoring (OSM) program for the 2018-2019 fiscal year held between the end... -
Lake-sediment record of PAH, mercury, and fly-ash particle deposition near...
We report a historical record of atmospheric deposition in dated sediment cores from Hasse Lake, ideally located near both currently and previously operational coal-fired power... -
Erosion of the Alberta badlands produces highly variable and elevated heavy...
Erosion is important in the transport of heavy metals from terrestrial to fluvial environments. In this study, we investigated riverine heavy metal (Cd, Cu, Hg and Pb) dynamics... -
Monitoring heavy metal concentrations in turbid rivers: Can fixed frequency...
The accurate determination of water quality criteria exceedance frequencies, distribution statistics (e.g., mean, median and percentile concentrations) and temporal trends in... -
Impacts of a large boreal wildfire on ground level atmospheric...
During May 2016 a very large boreal wildfire burned throughout the Athabasca Oil Sands Region (AOSR) in central Canada, and in close proximity to an extensive air quality... -
Uncovering traits in recovering grasslands: A functional assessment of oil...
Oil and gas exploration has disturbed extensive areas of grassland in North America. Reclamation of this human footprint is only a first step towards ecological recovery. A... -
Tracing nitrate sources with a combined isotope approach (δ15NNO3, δ18ONO3...
Rapid population growth and land-use intensification over the last century have resulted in a substantial increase in nutrient loads degrading marine and freshwater ecosystems... -
Satellite-derived emissions of carbon monoxide, ammonia, and nitrogen...
In May 2016, the Horse River wildfire led to the evacuation of ∼ 88 000 people from Fort McMurray and surrounding areas and consumed ∼ 590 000 ha of land in Northern Alberta and... -
Prevalence, levels and seasonal variations of human enteric viruses in six...
The prevalence and seasonal variation of 7 viruses in 6 major rivers in Alberta were assessed using a combination of qPCR, cell culture and integrated cell culture with qPCR... -
Multiple threats and stressors to the Athabasca River Basin: What do we know so far?
Over the last five decades, the Athabasca River Basin in Alberta, Canada, has been subjected to a wide range of environmental stressors from diverse human developments. This has... -
Isotopic tracing of hydrologic drivers including permafrost thaw status for...
Study region Surveys of stable isotopes of water in 50 boreal lakes were conducted during 2002–2017 as a component of Alberta’s Oil Sands acid sensitivity program in... -
Hybrid climate datasets from a climate data evaluation system and their...
A reliable climate dataset is the backbone for modelling the essential processes of the water cycle and predicting future conditions. Although a number of gridded climate... -
Environmental archives of atmospheric Hg deposition – A review
Environmental archives offer an opportunity to reconstruct temporal trends in atmospheric Hg deposition at various timescales. Lake sediment and peat have been the most widely... -
Ecotoxicity assessment of treated oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) :...
This technical report, compiled by Hatfield Consulting, describes the experimental design to determine the toxicity of OSPW treated using Syncrude's coke-slurry treatment... -
Comparison of isotopic mass balance and instrumental techniques as estimates...
Mass-balance models using stable isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen provide useful estimates of the water balance of lakes, particularly in the absence of instrumental data.... -
