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…

This compendium is intended to provide an overview of recent (2003-2011) climate change work involving Yukon. It is comprised of various types of documents including scientific journal articles, government publications, workshop reports, and…

Declines in American Kestrel (Falco sparverius) populations are widely reported, and Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) data suggest that the North American population declined significantly from 1984 to 2007. Potential factors include the spread of West…

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…

The goal of Yukon Passive Water Treatment Workshop was to foster discussions between mines environmental personnel, regulators, project managers, consultants, design engineers, and other affected stakeholders to identify the gaps that need to be…

The objective of this project was to identify landscape hazards in the Village of Mayo and nearby surroundings by compiling geoscience data from various field studies and scientific reviews (surficial geology, permafrost and hydrology). This data…

The overall goal of this project was to assess, in three stages, the use of fish otolith microchemistry as a potentially new monitoring tool to be applied around Yukon mine sites. High quality environmental assessments are critical to sound land and…

Companion studies of Willow Ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus) and Gyrfalcons (Falco rusticolus) in the central Yukon from 1978 to 1983 allowed us to examine Gyrfalcon reproductive performance at 14 nest sites in relation to ptarmigan abundance and other…

This report presents the results of a project that aims to understand and, if possible, recommend actions to remediate the issues caused by the formation of sinkholes at km 82 and km 102-103 of the Dempster Highway. At km 82, this has resulted in…
