Project Outline General Objective: Assess the importance of atmospheric deposition as a potential contributor to ecological impacts of oil sands (OS) development. Specific Objectives: Use snowpack measurements to develop maps of winter-time atmospheric contaminant loadings for the region ~100 km from the major upgrading facilities for 2014 and 2015. Assess long-term trends in winter-time atmospheric […]

Project Outline Objectives: To monitor air quality and deposition at the remote FH ecosystem sites, co-located with continuous monitoring instruments for validation of the passive measurements, in order to provide the data necessary to establish cause-effect linkage, and evaluate ecosystem effects due to air emissions. Key Outcomes: More credible data on deposition to ecosystems and […]
