| Abstract | Most of Canada's Hg comes from global sources, both natural and anthropogenic;
1000s of CDNs impacted by Hg in wild fish & marine mammals;
Large uncertainties re natural sources to global
atmosphere;
Impacts reliability of global budget and modeling;
Project will measure Icelandic volcanic Hg fluxes, and understand geological/geochemical controls;
Part of planned multinational consortium led by Sanei(Denmark). |
| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
This presentation was an introduction about the research that will be undertaken over the next 5 years under the Environmental Geoscience Program. The
goal is to distinguish the environmental effects of natural resources development of those from natural processes. This new phase of research will be looking at marine spills, Canada's largest watershed, permafrost geochemistry, volcanic mercury
contribution, mining impacted watersheds, assessments of aquifers, diluted bitumen and permafrost degradation. |
