"There are more and more researchers in the North who want their work to benefit northerners, and wonder if their results are relevant to the communities they work near or with. With the impacts of climate change being felt by those who live in…

"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…

This compendium is intended to provide an overview of recent climate change work involving Yukon. It is comprised of various types of documents including scientific journal articles, government publications, workshop reports, and conference…

"The 48-km stretch of the Yukon Valley from the mouth of Tatchun Creek to Minto Crossing was surveyed. 110 islands, just over 50 back channels, plus 14 off-channel ponds constitute the wetland habitat most used by birds. Two key areas were…
