AbstractA multidisciplinary and multi-institutional project was initiated in the Fox Creek area (west-central Alberta) in April 2019 to study environmental impacts of hydrocarbon development activities. The initial objective was to specifically study potential impacts on shallow groundwater. However, different Sectors within NRCan later identified the Fox Creek area as a region of interest for developing regional cumulative effects evaluation methods in support of new impact assessment legislation. As a result, the scope is now much broader and the project includes studies of vegetation, forest, snow cover, wetlands, and contributes to a woodland caribou habitat study. The project involves many collaborators from the federal and provincial governments, as well as from the academic community. This project is supported by the GGP and EGP programs.
Summary(Plain Language Summary, not published)
Every year since few years, the project leaders from the Groundwater Geoscience Program (GGP) present the status of their research to the public (mainly NRCan internal as well as few external partners). Presentations are added to GEOSCAN thereafter and recordings of the presentations are added into GGP YouTube channel.
