Aquatic Effects Monitoring Program (AEMP) Technical Overview Working Document, Final Draft Version 3, Ekati Diamond Mine (BHP Billiton, February 1998)
13 February 1998Report
This technical overview document details BHP Diamonds' Aquatic Effects Monitoring Program (AEMP) for the Ekati Diamond Mine, presenting a comprehensive framework for monitoring valued ecosystem components including water quality, sediment quality, and fish/aquatic habitat across the Koala drainage basin and reference lakes. The document outlines a tiered approach to monitoring, compliance requirements, stressors of potential concern (habitat impacts, sedimentation, contamination), and decision-making procedures to ensure the project does not cause significant adverse impacts on receiving aquatic ecosystems.

Mapping the Response of Permafrost in Canada to Climate Warming (Geological Survey of Canada, 1998)
1 January 1998Report
Smith and Burgess present a GIS-based approach to map the thermal and physical response of Canadian permafrost to climate warming by integrating factors like snow cover, vegetation, organic layers, and soil properties. The study indicates that approximately 50% of current permafrost is warmer than -2°C and has the greatest potential for thaw and degradation under predicted air temperature increases of 4-7°C.
