Atmoshpheric Deposition to the Athabasca Oil Sands Region Using Snowpack Measurements and Dated Lake Sediment Cores

This study uses snowpack measurements and dated lake sediment cores to investigate deposition of contaminants (including polycyclic aromatic compounds and numerous inorganic and organic contaminants such as mercury) to the landscapes and water bodies of the Athabasca Oil Sands region. The study is part of a technical report series conducted as part of the Joint Canada-Alberta Oil Sands Monitoring (JOSM) program.
