Abstract

The purpose of this research is to assess the oil sands tailings disposal and management problem form an environmental, social, economic and technological perspective. The main objective is to analyze the various impacts and determine the relative severity of each using qualitative significance criteria based on the magnitude, duration, frequency, reversibility, ecological context, social significance and likelihood criteria based on Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency guidelines (CEAA, 2000). The study will also outline what research and technologies are being developed to manage these effects.

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (Districts 5 and 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
