This study aimed to identify chemical components that could distinguish chemical mixtures in oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) from natural groundwater sources. Oil sands process-affected samples were collected from two different oil sands development tailing ponds, and natural groundwater...

The Water Survey of Canada provided a digital archive of river ice thickness measurements at four hydrometric monitoring stations along the Liard River. The average ice thickness measurements were extracted and compiled to the attached .csv file. The stations include: Liard River at Upper...

This dataset displays the geographic areas within which critical habitat (CH) for terrestrial species at risk, listed on Schedule 1 of the federal Species at Risk Act (SARA), occurs in Canada. Note that this includes only terrestrial species and species for which Environment and Climate Change...

Under the Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR), registered creators, foreign suppliers and carbon-intensity contributors can use the Fuel Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Model to calculate a carbon intensity (CI) for the purposes of creating credits. In order to calculate those CIs, the following documents...

Environment and Climate Change Canada’s (ECCC) data of the impact of carbon pollution pricing on national and provincial gross domestic product for the period 2022 to 2030. This data reflects ECCC’s estimates of the impact of carbon pricing on reducing greenhouse gas emissions published in the...

This study examined the presence and effect of micro and nanoplastics in an urban environment on the freshwater mussel, Elliptio complanata. Mussels were collected from a pristine lake located in the Laurentians region in Quebec, Canada, and placed in three locations in the St. Lawrence River...

The concentrations of contaminants in seawater influence what is detected in marine mammals and seabirds and levels and time trends of the contaminants in the ocean has been identified as a knowledge gap by the Northern Contaminants Program (NCP). Samples were analyzed for persistent organic...

The purpose of this study is to examine trends over time of mercury and other trace elements, as well as legacy and new persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in landlocked Arctic char collected annually from lakes near the community of Resolute Bay on Cornwallis Island (Amituk, Char, North, Small,...

These datasets contains depth profile of perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) concentrations collected from snow on the Devon Ice Cap from 2005-2015. Perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) are present in remote regions where no local sources exist. To improve understanding of long-range transport of perfluoroalkyl...

The specific composition, biomass, vertical distribution and metal content of submerged and emergent aquatic plants in the St. Lawrence were evaluated. The riparian vegetation community of the St. Lawrence is characterized by the presence of extensive wetlands in the floodplain, a border of...
