Measuring the Ecological Health in Alberta’s Oil Sands: Replacing Rhetoric with Fact
December 10, 2009
Measuring the Ecological Health in Alberta's Oil Sands: Replacing Rhetoric with Fact. Alberta's oil sands are a world-class resource that require word-class management. Unfortunately, the debate about future development in the oil sands is increasing clouded by rhetoric. Deliberate, informed choices about the tradeoff between industrial development and the ecological health in the region must be based on credible and relevant knowledge. Dr. Boutin will discuss recent results from the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute and their relevance to understanding the current and future ecological health of the oil sands.
Time: 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm
Venue: Stollery Executive Development Centre, Room 5-40 A & B, Business Building
