Passive biological treatments have been proposed as an efficient and cost effective treatment of metal bearing water discharged from mine sites after closure. However, concerns are typically expressed around biological treatments and their…

Coupling energy storage systems with renewable generation systems has a variety of advantages including: increasing the penetration of renewables, reducing curtailment, providing energy security, lowering greenhouse gas emissions and providing an…

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…

This report provides regional perspectives on how climate change is impacting our communities, environment and economy, and how we are adapting. This chapter discusses climate change impacts and approaches to adaptation across Northern Canada.

"An evaluation of the electric bear fence project is necessary to measure the success of the management action. In this study, I will determine if an electric bear fence is a practical and publicly acceptable way to mitigate human-bear…

The objective of this project was to identify landscape hazards in Pelly Crossing and nearby surroundings by compiling geoscience data from various field studies and scientific reviews (i.e., surficial geology and hydrology). This data was used to…

The Northern Climate ExChange and the University of Saskatchewan are working with the Jean Marie River First Nation and Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation to make climate change research relevant to northern Indigenous adaptation planning. The communities…

Concurrent with climate change impacts are community responses to them. Management of energy resources, with a focus on conservation and the development of renewable energy, is one way in which northern peoples are responding to climate change—the…

"The Compendium is intended to provide an overview of recent climate change work involving Yukon. This document is intended to supplement the 2003-2013 version of the Compendium with climate change work that has taken place during 2016 and 2017…

Yukon Government’s Emergency Measures Organization (EMO), with funding from the Federal National Disaster Mitigation Program, has approached the Northern Climate ExChange (NCE), part of the Yukon Research Centre at Yukon College, as a partner to…

A community-based approach to inventorying energy and greenhouse gas emissions was developed and carried out by Kluane First Nation (KFN) and the Yukon Research Centre (YRC) in 2011/2012. Residents and commercial and government operators in Burwash…

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…
