The 2020 version of the compendium is a supplement to previous versions (2003 - 2019), and while it focuses on work that was published between May 31, 2019 and June 1, 2020, it also includes work that was completed prior to May 31, 2019 and not…

The mine life cycle, from exploration to mine closure can be fast-paced and volatile, therefore careful consideration should be given to remediation planning of mine sites. Ensuring strategies are developed which are both cost effective, and…

"Over one year of wind measurements have now been collected at the Kluane Wind Project site and the data has been analysed and correlated to Burwash Landing’s airport to provide an estimate of long term mean wind speed at the site. While the…

Canada’s North is changing rapidly. It is unique in terms of its relatively strong representation of indigenous people and variety of landscapes. This creates a unique context for climate change adaptation, both in terms of urgency (change is…

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 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 2015 and 2016…

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…

"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 geology of southwest Yukon records a complex history of terrane accretion, with the progressive addition of oceanic island arcs to the western margin of proto-North America (Laurentia) from the early Triassic to Cretaceous. Recent mapping in the…
