Passive treatment systems (PTS) present a potential low-cost solution to treating mine-impacted waters (MIW) and impeding release of contaminants, such as metals and sulphate, into receiving waters in remote mine sites in Yukon. Nevertheless, the…

The Northern Mine Remediation project began with the formation of the Yukon Mining Research Committee (YMRC) in 2012. As representatives of the mining industry they wanted to create a platform for industry, Yukon College, First Nations, and…

"The following report endeavours to evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of utilizing the waste heat from a 500 KWe bioenergy gasification plant in the Haines Junction area and, when possible, the secondary option of using heat from…

[T]his report explores a hybrid-applied solution: the use of saturated covers, which involve lifting an elevated water table into a tailing impoundment that maintains saturation within the tailing profile without allowing excess water directly along…

"Northern Canadian communities are at the forefront of climate change. Permafrost thaw is one of the major threats that they face. Many communities, particularly those within the discontinuous permafrost zone, have ground temperatures just…

The objective of this study is therefore to evaluate the impact of freeze-thaw cycles on oxygen migration within saturated covers over tailings, by simulating a tailings cover system in the laboratory through column experiments. Covers for waste…

These projects mostly use bird species diversity and population performance as indicators of ecosystem health. In part using student energies, data bases are maintained tracking key demographic parameters of important focal species. Some of these…
