We review the use of visible range spectroscopy (VRS) to measure concentrations of
chlorophyll a and its degradation products (collectively classified as chlorins) from lake …

Increasing proportions of the global population are exposed to floods, including many living
in the Yellow River floodplain. Since records were first kept in 602 BCE, there have been∼ …

The absence of well-executed environmental monitoring in the Athabasca oil sands (Alberta,
Canada) has necessitated the use of indirect approaches to determine background …

Cyanobacterial blooms pose a significant threat to water security, with anthropogenic forcing
being implicated as a key driver behind the recent upsurge and global expansion of …

The distribution and quality of water resources vary dramatically across Canada, and human
impacts such as land-use and climate changes are exacerbating uncertainties in water …

Air temperatures in the tropical Andes have risen at an accelerated rate relative to the global
average over recent decades. However, the effects of climate change on Andean lakes …

Giant Mine, located in the city of Yellowknife (Northwest Territories, Canada), is a dramatic
example of subarctic legacy contamination from mining activities, with remediation costs …

Cyanobacterial blooms have been increasing in frequency and intensity but are often
considered an issue restricted to temperate and tropical lakes. Here we report on one of the …

We investigate the potential of hyperspectral imaging spectrometry for the analysis of fresh
sediment cores. A sediment-core-scanning system equipped with a camera working in the …

We present a systematic compilation of previously published Holocene proxy climate
records from the Arctic. We identified 170 sites from north of 58° N latitude where proxy time …
