In this study, Daphnia magna were exposed over three 21d generations to an environmentally relevant concentration of TBOEP (10 μg/L) and effects were evaluated at the gene transcription, protein, and life-history (i.e., survival, reproduction and growth) levels. Results were published in a...

In this study, Daphnia magna transcriptomic response was measured by microarray to evaluate sublethal effects of TBOEP as part of a multi-level biological approach including specific gene transcription measured by qRT-PCR, enzyme activity, and life-history endpoints (i.e., survival, growth, and...

The transcriptomic response of Daphnia magna exposed to sublethal doses of 1H-benzotriazole (BTR), 5-methyl-1H-benzotriazole, (5MeBTR), and 5-chloro-1H-benzotriazole (5ClBTR) was evaluated using RNA-sequencing and quantitative real-time PCR. Cellular (chitinase activity) and life-history...

The objectives of the present study were to evaluate the chronixc effects of 2 BZT‐UVs alone and in a mixture, 2‐(2H‐benzotriazol‐2‐yl)‐4,6‐bis(1‐methyl‐1‐phenylethyl)phenol (UV‐234) and 2‐(2H‐benzotriazol‐2‐yl)‐4,6‐di‐tert‐pentylphenol (UV‐328), in juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)...

In this study, the chronic effects of 2 BZT-UVs, 2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-4,6-bis(1-methyl-1-phenylethyl)phenol (UV-234) and 2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-4,6-di-tert-pentylphenol (UV-328) were evaluated for each compound alone and in a mixture on the freshwater green algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii...

The Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) program provides data and information to track Canada's performance on key environmental sustainability issues. The Sea ice in Canada indicators provide information on the area of sea in Canada covered by ice during the summer season....

The Precipitation Occurrence Sensor System (POSS) is a small X-band 10.525 GHz continuous-wave bi-static vertically pointing Doppler radar. The system reports precipitation occurrence, type and intensity of precipitation at 1-min temporal resolution. Raw measurements are 960 samples per minute....

The Government of Canada’s Fuel Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Model is a tool to calculate the life cycle carbon intensity (CI) of fuels and energy sources used and produced in Canada.

As part of the sediment stability study in the priority area (Areas of Concern) of St Laurent River near Cornwall, ADCP instruments were deployed during the summer of 2022 to collect the flow data in the river. The data collection program is part of GLAP. The field experiments were carried out...

The toxicity of pharmaceuticals finasteride (FIN) and melengestrol acetate (MGA) was assessed in chronic (42 days) sediment tests with the mayfly Hexagenia spp. Two tests were completed for each compound. Survival and growth were assessed at the end of each test.

HREPA is part of the NSRPS (National Surface and River Prediction System) experimental system dependent on two other systems. It uses surface station observations and radar QPEs pre-processed by HRDPA and disturbed trial fields generated by the Canadian Land Data Assimilation System (CaLDAS)....

The Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) program provides data and information to track Canada's performance on key environmental sustainability issues. The management of Canadian aquaculture indicator measures the percentage of aquaculture operation inspections where no...

The AdjDlyRS dataset contains adjusted daily rainfall (R) and snowfall (S) data from all Canadian stations reporting rainfall and snowfall for which we have metadata to do the adjustments (Wang et al. 2017). The processing includes inspection and adjustments using quality control procedures...

Permafrost loss is pervasive across northern circumpolar regions. The loss of frozen ground has profound impacts on water resources at varying spatial and temporal scales via changes to predominant hydrological processes, runoff pathways and entrainment rates of solutes and sediments. Consensus...

In an effort to increase transparency and to facilitate access to information on substances in Canadian commerce, the Government of Canada is publishing a summary of the information received in response to the Notice with respect to perfluorohexane sulfonic acid, its salts and its precursors...

To increase transparency and to facilitate access to information on substances in Canadian commerce, the Government of Canada is publishing a compilation of the non-confidential information received in response to the Notice with respect to bisphenol A (BPA) and BPA structural analogues and...

This dataset includes all ministerial condition (MC) notices published under the authority of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA). The MC notice may be applied to a new substance or living organisms when Environment and Climate Change Canada and Health Canada suspect that a new...

Major ions data consist of the following key ions in precipitation: Cl-, NO3-, SO4=, NH4+, Na+, K+, Ca++, Mg++. The data sets typically also include the pH and depth of the precipitation sample. These data are collected by several provincial, national and bi-national networks. The wet-only...

The Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) program provides data and information to track Canada's performance on key environmental sustainability issues. The Air health trends indicators were developed as a tool to monitor trends in public health impacts in Canada attributable...

Although the extent to which large-scale environmental change will affect birds that breed in arctic areas will vary among species, reduced reproductive success and population declines have been observed in long-distance migrants and species whose reproduction depends on non-climatic cues....
