REPS Dissolved Oxygen Logs Experiment
Establishing the net productivity of systems is accomplished through quantifying and comparing photosynthetic and respirometric processes. System samples, using light and dark... -
REPS Sediment Contaminants from Artificial Substrates
As long-lived, ubiquitous aquatic consumers of both primary producers and other invertebrates, macroinvertebrates are a useful indicator of health in aquatic systems. Benthic... -
REPS Periphyton Productivity Experiment (Respirometers)
Monitoring periphyton indicates short term impacts on the system and provides a measure of productivity in these aquatic systems over the open water season of 2013 (September).... -
REPS Periphyton Taxonomy
Periphyton is a complex assemblage of organisms as a biofilm composed of algae, cyanobacteria, fungi, detritus, and other organisms. Monitoring periphyton is a strong indicator... -
REPS Periphyton Stable Isotope Analysis
The process of fractionation, during which (typically) lighter elemental isotopes are preferentially incorporated in biochemical processes, produces stable isotopes that can be... -
Enhanced Monitoring of the LAR: Benthic Macroinvertebrate Body-Burdens
Baseline benthic macroinvertebrate body-burdens of metals, mercury, and stable isotope ratios (δ15N, δ13C) collected by Alberta Environment and Parks as part of a focused study... -
Enhanced Monitoring of the LAR: Semi-Permeable Membrane Devices (dissolved PAHs)
Baseline water quality data using semi-permeable membrane devices (SPMD) collected by Alberta Environment and Parks as part of a focused study under the Oil Sands Monitoring... -
Enhanced Monitoring of the LAR: Surface Water Quality (continuous)
Baseline continuous monitoring water quality data collected by Alberta Environment and Parks as part of a focused study under the Oil Sands Monitoring Program: Enhanced... -
REPS Invertebrates Stable Isotope Analysis
The process of fractionation, during which (typically) lighter elemental isotopes are preferentially incorporated in biochemical processes, produces stable isotopes that can be...
