The Pembina Institute's new book Death by a Thousand Cuts: The Impacts of In Situ Oil Sands Development on Alberta's Boreal Forest examines the environmental impacts of in situ (in place) development of deep oil sands that has the potential to affect a forested region 50 times larger than the areas leased for oil sands mining north of Fort McMurray.
