Introduction to Cold Lake

Our results contribute to understanding of how multiple interacting stressors affect warming pelagic ecosystems of cold lakes and oceans and show that the population-level consequences of thermal mismatch between hosts and parasites can vary seasonally, interannual and spatially.

The study looked at a hypothetical credible worst case tanker spill (16 500 m3) of diluted bitumen (cold lake winter blend) occurring at Arachne Reef in Haro Strait, British Columbia, Canada.

We undertook a wildfire risk assessment across the Cold Lake caribou range where we used the Burn-P3 model to determine: a) burn probability; b) wildfire risk to restored seismic line areas; and c) the effectiveness of mitigation measures.

Thus, it is important to understand the effects of the two most transported dilbits in Canada, Access Western Blend (AWB) and Cold Lake Blend (CLB) on a North America native and freshwater fish species, the yellow perch (Perca flavescens).

Using the calibrated Peng–Robinson equation of state (PR-EOS), the solubilities of solvents in the Clearwater bitumen sample from the Cold Lake region were predicted.

Canada possesses the largest oil sand resources in the world, concentrated in the three major deposits of Alberta Basin: Athabasca (including Wabasca), Cold Lake and Peace River.

Here we report on 11-day long experimental spills of dilbit (Cold Lake Winter Blend) in outdoor microcosms meant to simulate a low-energy aquatic system containing natural lake water and sediments treated with a low (1:8,000 oil:water) and high (1:800 oil:water) volume of dilbit.

To determine the potential risks posed to these keystone species, juvenile sockeye (Oncorhynchus nerka; 1+ parr) were acutely (24-96 h) or subchronically (21-42 d) exposed to 4 concentrations of the water-soluble fraction (WSF) of unweathered Cold Lake Blend dilbit (initial total PAC concentrations: 0, 13.

The SI Deep Hole is the deepest part of Yellowstone Lake (120 m), and hosts up to 174 °C fluids heated by steam that condenses on contact with cold lake water.

7 μg/L TPACs) of Access Western Blend (AWB) and Cold Lake Blend (CLB) dilbits.

Given my current research location, the Upper Midwest of the United States, this often means late-night dives to the bottom of fairly cold lakes.

We use our model to find optimal strategies for seismic line restoration in the Cold Lake Area of Alberta, Canada, a 6726-km2 expanse of boreal forest that represents prime caribou habitat.

An unconfined fast heating test was conducted on a Colorado shale sample, which was retrieved from an overburdened shale formation above oil sand reservoirs in the Cold Lake area in Alberta, Canada.

Here, we sought to quantify the effects of human development in the Athabasca, Peace River, and Cold Lake Oil Sands Regions in Alberta, Canada, and to examine its impact on wetland plant community composition.

The data set comprised Surmont, JACOS, Mackay River, and Cold Lake bitumen samples and five light hydrocarbon solvents including methane, ethane, propane, n-butane, and n-pentane.

The kinetic energy from the cold lake water flowing down the mineshaft can be harnessed with turbines, to reduce water pressure and produce usable energy.

Light (LGT) to moderate (MOD) aircraft icing (AI) is frequently reported at Cold Lake, Alberta, but forecasting AI has been a big challenge.
