Soil and peat properties data collected in situ from wetlands in the Oil Sands Region by Alberta Environment and Parks for the OSM program

The McLeod River headwaters originate in the Rocky Mountains in west-central Alberta and join the Athabasca River near Whitecourt. Coal mining has occurred in the McLeod...

Mountaintop removal coal mining impairs downstream ecosystems through the delivery of nutrients, ions, and heavy-metals. Here, we show that this mining also impacts ecosystems...

Mountaintop removal coal mining leaves a legacy of disturbed landscapes and abandoned infrastructure with clear impacts on water resources; however, the intensity and...

Surface water data derived from submerged logging devices that record measurements at set time intervals. The data are part of a long-term monitoring program that can be used to...

Groundwater level data collected since 1965 for the province of Alberta.

Groundwater quality data collected from monitoring wells in the oil sands region by Alberta Environment and Parks (and contractors hired by AEP 2016-present) for the OSM program.

Surface water data derived from field-gathered samples analyzed in labs. The data are part of a long-term monitoring program that can be used to meet various needs. ABS058:...

Toxic cyanobacterial blooms (CBs) are becoming more frequent globally, posing a threat to freshwater ecosystems. While making long-range forecasts is overly challenging,...

Most of the globe has experienced significant warming trends that have been attributed to anthropogenic climate change. However, these rates of warming are also influenced by...

Significant advances in field monitoring, laboratory experiments and computational modelling of river ice processes havebeen made in the past few decades. Different ice processes,...

Understanding how individuals within populations are connected genetically and through shared space-use is critical to understanding the demographic patterns of at-risk...

Conservation breeding programs are increasingly used as recovery actions for wild animals; bringing founders into captivity to rear captive populations for future reintroduction...

Successful restoration of human-disturbed landscapes and ecosystems will be increasingly compromised by the impacts of climate warming. Assisted migration and climate-informed...

Open-pit and subsurface extraction of oil sands in Alberta, Canada, continue to expand and pose a risk of contamination to the aquatic ecosystems of the region. These operations...
