The thermohaline intrusion of the warm and saline Atlantic Water (AW) into the Arctic Ocean, referred to as “Arctic Atlantification”, has significant implications and feedback on the {thermo}dynamics of the Arctic Ocean. The AW enters the Arctic Ocean through two gateways: Fram Strait and the...

Glacial systems are reservoirs of nutrients, labile organic matter, and microbes. Glaciers contain diverse environments (supraglacial (surface), subglacial (base), and ice-marginal) with variable organic matter pools shaped by different physical processes and site-specific microbial communities...

Land-use pressures in Alberta's agricultural landscapes have intensified in recent years. With the province's broad historical agricultural base and ongoing urban expansion, there have been growing concerns about the loss of prime agricultural land. These concerns and conflicts have been...

Critical metals (e.g., nickel and cobalt) are increasingly in demand for the production and storage of cleaner energy but their supplies are finite. Ultramafic mine tailings could be reprocessed as a source of critical metals. These waste materials host an array of critical transition metals and...

The Lawyers Property located in the Toodoggone district hosts a well-known extensively explored low sulfidation style epithermal deposit as well as an adjacent less understood target area known as Silver Pond that shares characteristics of a high sulfidation style system. The Silver Pond prospect...

The connection between metasomatism - the change in chemical composition of a rock via interaction with a fluid or melt - and the formation of metalliferous ore deposits in the Earth’s crust is well established. Similarly, it is now accepted that the Earth’s lithospheric mantle has experienced...

Resolving important fundamental questions about the petrogenesis of cratonic lithosphere is difficult in ancient cratons that have long and complex histories. Several properties of cratons are poorly constrained and our understanding of their petrogenesis largely remains ambiguous. In the Archean...

To combat global warming, Canada has committed to reducing greenhouse gases (GHGs) 40-45% below 2005 emission levels by 2025. Monitoring emissions and deriving accurate inventories are essential to reaching these goals. GHGs can be measured at a small scale, often using ground measurements which...

Northern hemisphere evergreen forests assimilate a significant fraction of global atmospheric CO2. Conifers undergo winter-downregulated photosynthetic activity and spring-onset photosynthetic activation. Currently, increased temperatures are leading to shifts in photosynthetic phenology (early...
