Study region: Surveys of stable isotopes of water in 50 boreal lakes were conducted during 2002–2017 as a component of Alberta’s Oil Sands acid sensitivity program in northeastern Alberta. Study focus: Using an isotope mass balance approach, watershed, climatic and isotopic data were applied to esti...
