Developing New Tools for Assessing Legacy Pollutants and their Ecological Consequences in Lakes Near Northwest Territories Mines
Principal Investigator: Blais, Jules M
Licensed Year(s): 2017 2016 2015
Summary: The research team will develop tools to assess risks associated with legacy industrial developments in a northern setting. The team will investigate contaminants from the Giant Mine near Yellowknife NT, which operated between 1948 and 2004, producing a legacy of contaminants including arsenic, antimony, hydrocarbons, mercury, and others. This remediation strategy only applies to the Giant Mine pro...


Enhanced Contaminant Transport from Thawing Permafrost in Freshwater Ecosystems
Principal Investigator: Blais, Jules M
Licensed Year(s): 2010
Summary: This research goal is to examine the role of thermokarst development on natural organic matter and the release of metals (e.g. mercury) and organic contaminants (e.g. polychlorinated biphenyls - PCBs). Sampling for contaminants: Water sampling for persistent organic pollutants (POPs) will be done by passive samplers, consisting of a semi-permeable membrane containing a resin that will extract ...
