20162015 Summary:
The research team propose to 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 Northwest Territories (NT), which operated between 1948 and 2004, producing a legacy of contaminants including arsenic, antimony, hydrocarbons, mercury, and others. This remediation strategy appl...

20062005 Summary:
The purpose of this project is to study the mobility, speciation, and mineralogical and geochemical controls on antimony (Sb) and arsenic (As) originating from the Giant Mine. This research could aid in designing reclamation plans, resolving the relation between Sb and benthic diversity and identifying threats to the Great Slave Lake ecosystem. Understanding the movement and speciation of As and S...
