Effects of Capping Strategy and Water Balance on Salt Movement in Oil Sands Reclamation Soils

The success of oil sands reclamation can be impacted by soil salinity depending on the materials used for soil reconstruction and the capping strategies applied. Using both a greenhouse-based column experiment and numerical modeling, we examined the potential pathways of salt migration from saline g...
