LEE FOOTE:<\/b><em>  We have to remember, the oil sands, one size does not fit all.  And, there are unintended consequences.  This is not a place for simple solutions.  There are  gradients that run from north to south and distance from the Athabasca River, for example, gradients of salinity, degree of bitumen remaining  in the soil, the soil types, the permeability, the groundwater connections.  It\u2019s a very complex picture environmentally.  And so we don\u2019t want to reduce this down, to be overly reductionist and come up with a silver bullet approach.  That\u2019s not it.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s got to be a much more integrated, multidisciplinary approach to things.  <\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nDr. Lee Foote says CFRAWS is a consortium of four universities with four principle investigators and twenty graduate students.  Their research is funded by the oil sands industry and NSERC.\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>\u00a02011-03-03<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Research into <b>oil sands reclamation<\/b> has come a long ways in recent years.
