Read MoreAdaptive monitoring framework signals meaningful changes
When environmental change occurs, it is necessary to understand whether the difference was expected or unexpected, whether it is stable or getting worse, and whether the change is site-specific, local or regional in nature.
Read MoreA geotechnical time machine: cutting-edge beam centrifuge research reduces a 100-year study timeframe down to days
Beam centrifuge, a key part of the U of A's Geomechanical Reservoir Experimental Facility (GeoREF), is advancing research into a range of hydrocarbon recovery solutions.
Read MoreCould petroleum coke, a byproduct of upgrading and a material that is almost pure carbon, be used to treat tailings?
Just as a home water filter absorbs chemicals present in drinking water, research shows petroleum coke can filter out suspended solids. This technology could play a critical role accelerating the rate of tailings reclamation.
