Fugitive dust associated with surface mining activities is one of the principal vectors for transport of airborne contaminants in Canada’s Athabasca oil sands region (AOSR)....

To evaluate the health effects of wildfire smoke, it is crucial to identify reliable models, at fine spatiotemporal resolution, of exposure to wildfire-generated PM2.5. To this...

Understanding the combustion dynamics of fuels, and the generation and propagation of smoke in a wildland fire, can inform short-range and long-range pollutant transport models,...

This is the standard operating procedure for measuring ambient particulate matter. It provides guidance for the operation, calibration and maintenance of the Thermo Scientific...

Alberta Environment and Parks is dedicated to ensuring healthy, secure and sustainable water supplies for Alberta's communities, environment and economy. Two core river water...

Winter thaw episodes, especially when accompanied by rain, can significantly deplete the winter snowpack, which is a critical water storage component in the mountainous...

We developed a scientifically robust and financially sustainable monitoring protocol to enable a consistent assessment of ecological recovery of physical, chemical, and...

Since 1963 approximately 100 000 oil and gas well pads have been officially certified as reclaimed in Alberta, yet follow-up monitoring programs have not been established to...

Site preparation for oil and gas extraction often requires the complete removal of vegetation and surface soil on the well pad. Although subsequent reclamation then attempts to...

This report summarizes the scientific evidence for ecological responses of soil, vegetation, hydrology, and wildlife to human activities in the Castle region of southwestern...

The application of soil proximal sensors on reclaimed sites presents a novel method for assessing the quality of reclaimed landscapes. This method improves assessment...

The Eastern Slopes of Canada’s Rocky Mountains have been managed for headwater protection, natural resource production, recreation, and other land uses for over a century. To...

This document summarizes work completed for the Lower Athabasca River enhanced monitoring program for the 2019-2020 fiscal year. Data that has been generated from this program...
