Paleolimnological Assessment of Past Hydro-ecological Variation at a Shallow Hardwater Lake in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region Before Potential Onset of Industrial Development
Resource
Effective environmental monitoring requires knowledge of inherent natural variation. In the absence of pre-development monitoring of aquatic ecosystems, paleolimnological approaches have been...
Partitioning Forest-Floor Respiration into Source Based Emissions in a Boreal Forested Bog: Response to Experimental Drought
Resource
Northern peatlands store globally significant amounts of soil carbon that could be released to the atmosphere under drier conditions induced by climate change. We measured forest floor respiration (R...
Passive Treatment of Mine Drainage Waters: The Use of Biochars and Wood Products to Enhance Metal Removal Efficiency
Resource
Passive biological treatments have been proposed as a possible efficient and cost effective treatment method for metal bearing water discharged from mine sites after closure. Several biofilters are...
Performance of an Engineered Cover System for a Uranium Mine Waste Rock Pile in Northern Saskatchewan After Six Years
Resource
The Claude waste rock pile at Cluff Lake uranium mine in northern Saskatchewan's Athabasca basin contains ~7.2 million tonnes of waste rock, upon which an engineered enhanced store-and-release cover...
Petroleum Exploration Increases Methane Emissions from Northern Peatlands
