"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…

Constructed wetlands (CWs) have been employed as passive treatment systems for metal contaminated mine drainage in Canada. However, relatively few CWs have been documented in northern environments and further studies are needed to understand the…

Climate change is a significant challenge for northern communities, where the impacts of a warming climate are already having considerable effects (Huntington and Weller, 2005). Many people living in small, isolated communities in northern Yukon are…

"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 Compendium is intended to provide an overview of recent (2003-2013) climate change work involving Yukon. It is comprised of various types of documents, including scientific journal articles, government publications, workshop reports, and…

The Northern Climate ExChange (NCE) has developed a two-day climate change course for training Government of Nunavut (GN) employees. The course has been delivered in Iqaluit to GN staff, ensuring that they are aware of climate change impacts and…

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…
