Wildfires and contaminated landscapes: The impact of wildfire on the mobility, transport and fate of metal(loids) in a subarctic shield landscape
Principal Investigator: Devoie, Élise
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5898. The main goal of this project is to explore how wildfire will affect the stability and fate of metals and metalloids (i.e. arsenic, mercury, antimony) in mining contaminated and pristine landscapes. Metal(loid) concentrations in air, soil, and water in and around Boundary Creek (30 km west of Yellowknife) will be co...


Using the past to inform the future: A paleoecological perspective of the impacts of drought and fire on lakes, permafrost and forests
Principal Investigator: Pisaric, Michael FJ
