Mercury and methylmercury in snowpacks, snowmelt, and tailings ponds of the Athabasca Oil Sands Region, Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2017
The Alberta Oil Sands Region (AOSR) is the third largest proven oil reserve in the world and one of Canada’s major economic drivers. Industrialized extraction of this resource has resulted in the release of contaminants from various sources, such as stack emissions, volatilization and leakage of...

Methylmercury production and export across the terrestrial-aquatic continuum in permafrost peatland catchments
DownloadFall 2023
Ongoing permafrost thaw in northern peatland catchments may increase the production and downstream delivery of neurotoxic methylmercury (MeHg) across the terrestrial-aquatic continuum. Peatlands in boreal-Arctic regions have large stocks of mercury (Hg) in frozen soils, accumulated through...

Fall 2013
Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) ligands such as 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and metals, such as mercury (Hg), are environmental co-contaminants with multiple biological consequences. Therefore, the objectives of the current dissertation were to: 1) examine the potential effect of...
