20 years on from the last report, the federal Environment Commissioner notes abandoned mines remain the North's worst contaminated sites. Reconciliation must guide remediation. www.aptnnews.ca/national-new...

New publication from our Global Water Futures project on metal(loid) mobilization from thawing permafrost. This paper examines processes driving release of naturally occurring arsenic to groundwater. pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Great article and something that the general public and just as importantly, legislatures, etc need to understand about geology and its place in higher ed, society, etc. It’s 100% critical for how we live. #geology #kansas #environment #geoscience thenarwhal.ca/mining-young...

New paper with postdoc Elliott Skierszkan and colleagues on metal(loid) mobilization during permafrost thaw in Yukon, Canada. authors.elsevier.com/c/1i3QUB8ccy...

Microbes are collectively one of the biggest forces shaping Earth, and yet undergraduate #geology students typically receive little training in microbiology. My new open access textbook seeks to help. “Microbiology for Earth Scientists” is freely available here newprairiepress.org/ebooks/53/

@earth-science.bsky.social Can you please add me to the Earth Scientists posting list? I am an environmental geochemist, Associate Professor, and Professional Geoscientist. ⚒️

Another field work photo from Yukon, Canada. This one shows pH dependent mineral precipitation at the confluence of two streams. The white colour is from aluminum precipitates and orange colour is from iron precipitates. This phenomenon results from natural weathering of shales.

Field work photo seems like a good first Bluesky post. This acidic, metal-rich pond is fed groundwater discharge from shales in the Ogilvie mountains north of Dawson City, Yukon, Canada. Lots of interesting (bio)geochemistry to study…looking forward to a return visit.
