The petroleum industry is a major economic driver in Canada; however, toxic and persistent contaminants such as Naphthenic Acid Fraction Compounds (NAFCs) and benzene can be generated during upstream and downstream operations. NAFCs are acutely toxic organics which are solubilized and...

Composition and Biodegradation of DOM Leached from Permafrost End-members across the Western Canadian Arctic
DownloadFall 2020
Organic matter, upon dissolution into the aqueous state as dissolved organic matter (DOM), can undergo mineralization by microbes (biodegradation). There has been increasing effort to characterize DOM released from thawing permafrost because it may perpetuate a permafrost carbon feedback....

The demand for fresh water is steadily increasing as a result of the increasing human populations and activities. On the other hand, water sources are limited, especially as the global warming continues to change the quantities and distribution of water all over the world. Therefore, focusing the...

Biodegradation of poorly water soluble hydrocarbons, such as n-alkanes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is often limited by the low availability of the pollutant to microbes. Adhesion of microorganisms to the oil-water interface can influence this availability. Our approach was to...
