Observations on various types of wetlands, terrestrial environments, and vascular plants for 864 sites visited in 2000 and 2001 along the St. Lawrence River, between Cornwall and Trois-Pistoles are included in this dataset. Since the 1990s, Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) has been...

Long-term freshwater quality monitoring data for two sites in the Missouri River Basin for the past 15 years or longer for nutrients, metals, major ions, and other physical-chemical variables are included in this dataset. Monitoring is conducted by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) to...

Les données de monitoring de la qualité de l'eau pour trois sites dans le bassin des rivières Nelson et de la basse Saskatchewan pour les 15 dernières années ou plus pour les éléments nutritifs, les métaux, les ions majeurs et d'autre variables physico-chimiques sont incluses dans cet ensemble de...

Long Term Air Pollutant and Meteorological Monitoring at Fort McKay’s Oski-ôtin site: Validated data Continuous monitoring of multiple air pollutants along with meteorological conditions began in Fort McKay at the Oski-ôtin site in August 2013. The purpose of Oski-ôtin’s enhanced monitoring is to...

In October and November 2015, ground-based air measurements of pollutants were made from two mobile laboratories in southeast Saskatchewan in an area within a 50 km radius of Stoughton, Saskatchewan by scientists of the Air Quality Research Division, Environment and Climate Change Canada....

Ground level ozone and meteorological parameters were measured at the Mount Sutton research site from October 1986-June 2008. The main objectives of these measurements were: to characterize high elevation (845 m.a.s.l.) ozone levels in this rural region; and 2. to determine long term ozone...

The Great Lakes Basin (GLB) Monitoring and Surveillance program under the Chemicals Management Plan (CMP) of Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) has been operating since 1990 as a result of provisions called for in the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement (GLWQA) between Canada and the...

Long-term freshwater quality monitoring data for six sites in the South Saskatchewan River Basin for the past 15 years or longer for nutrients, metals, major ions, and other physical-chemical variables are included in this dataset. Monitoring is conducted by Environment and Climate Change Canada...

Sediment quality data for 20 lakes across Canada. Parameters include total mercury, methylmercury, sulfate, inorganic and organic carbon, nitrogen, and total recoverable metals. Bottom sediment samples were collected from one to three locations on each lake, following nationally standardized...

Observations on various types of wetlands, terrestrial environments, and vascular plants for 102 sites visited in 2012 and located on Lake Saint-Pierre are included in this dataset. Since the 1990s, Environment and Climate change Canada (ECCC) has been monitoring changes in wetlands under the...

The Forest Bird Monitoring Program (FBMP) has been conducted annually in Ontario since 1987, by Environment Canada's Canadian Wildlife Service (Ontario Region).Each year, between 50 and 150 sites are surveyed by volunteers, who make two 10-minute visits to five point count stations per site....

Population trend estimates based on data collected through the North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS), for approximately 300 Canadian bird species. The trend results are Canadian trends and thus use data from Canadian BBS routes only. Results are updated annually; these estimates use BBS data...

Long-term freshwater quality monitoring data for three sites in the North Saskatchewan River basin for the past 15 years or longer for nutrients, metals, major ions, and other physical-chemical variables are included in this dataset. Monitoring is conducted by Environment and Climate Change...

Annual freshwater quality monitoring data for 20 lakes across Canada. Parameters include total mercury, methylmercury, pH, alkalinity, specific conductance, colour, chlorophyll, nutrients, ions, dissolved inorganic and organic carbon, and total metals. In most years surface samples were collected...

Long-term freshwater quality monitoring data for over five sites in the Peace - Athabasca River Basin for the past 15 years or longer for nutrients, metals, major ions, and other physical-chemical variables are included in this dataset. Monitoring is conducted by Environment and Climate Change...

Evaluation and characterization of physical properties, chemical composition and behavior of petroleum products is crucial to predict environmental behaviour in the event of spills. This information can inform the prediction and modeling of fate and behavior of the oils in different environmental...

Citation information for scientific and technical articles published in 2015 co-authored by Environment Canada researchers. The structure of this publication list utilizes the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/ National Information Standards Organization (NISO) Z39.29-2005 (R2010)...

These data are associated with the following two publications: Zhiyong Wu, Staebler R., Vet R., and Zhang L. (2016), Dry deposition of O3 and SO2 estimated from gradient measurements above a temperate mixed forest. Environmental Pollution, 210, 202-210, DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2015.11.052 and...

Ground level ozone (GLO3) was measured at the Alert, Nunavut research station (82º28’N, 62º30’W) from 31 December 1991 to 31 December 2003. These measurements were conducted to: 1. determine a long term trend in background ozone, and 2. to understand the annual appearance of surface level ozone...

Systematic air quality measurements were made in the study region of Toronto during the 2015 Pan-Am games (July 14th – July 29th). These measurements were done using the mobile lab CRUISER (Canadian Regional and Urban Investigation System for Environmental Research) to identify emission sources...
