So that information is starting to come out.   It\u2019s a very complicated process and it takes years and years of research.  But we\u2019re starting to get the light shed on the water quality, on the types of plants that we need to focus on, on the size of the land forms.    And we\u2019re just getting a little bit better each year.  But like I say, it\u2019s a long  process. It\u2019s going to take a lot of time. <\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nRob Vassov says one of the biggest reclamation challenges for industry is understanding the connectivity between uplands and wetlands.\n<\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\nThanks today to <b>SYNCRUDE<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFOR INNOVATION ANTHOLOGY<br \/>\nI\u2019M CHERYL CROUCHER<\/b>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3> , <\/h3>\n<h4>, , , , <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.syncrude.com\">Syncrude<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/innovationanthology.com\/uploads\/SyncrudeLogo.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Date:<\/strong>\u00a02012-02-07<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once <b>oil sands<\/b> mining is done, attention turns to <b>reclaiming <\/b>the landscape to a functioning boreal ecosystem.
