GeoPro Talks – Compilation and Evaluation of Fish-Specific Toxicity Reference Values (TRVs) for the Federal Contaminated Sites Action Plan (FCSAP)
Fish are an important receptor group ecologically and socioeconomically, and are often of key interest in aquatic ecological risk assessments (ERAs) at contaminated sites. Toxicity reference values (TRVs) are one tool used in ERAs.
GeoPro Talks – Electrical Hydrogeology: See the Groundwater Flow
This talk will look at how electrical data can allow us to evaluate water supply or contaminant transport problems. Examples will include water supply and contaminants in karst domains, as well as contaminated sites affected by microbial activity.
GeoPro Talks: Creosote Legacy
“Creosote Legacy” back by popular demand: Reidar Zapf-Gilje talks about coal tar and creosote uses for wood preservation and the legacy of contamination that resulted. The recorded Talk covers the properties that makes coal tar and creosote contamination so problematic, and presents some Canadian case studies. The case studies illustrate investigation techniques, remediation solutions and human […]
GeoPro Talks – Dry Cleaners Re-Visited
Dry Cleaners Revisited is back by popular demand! Dry cleaners in urban environments remain one of the most common and difficult types of contaminated sites to investigate and remediate. In this recorded Talk, Guy Patrick re-visits some of the interesting and challenging properties of DNAPL solvents such as tetrachloroethylene. He guides us through some the […]
GeoPro Talks: 2023 Virtual Field School – Field Sampling Methods for Contaminated Lands Investigation
On May 24, 2023, 10-10:30 Zahra Pirani and Dr. Ian Hers will provide a preview of the 2023 GeoEnviroPro Field School, to be held June 5-12. “Field School” is designed to address key elements of field methods and protocols for contaminated sites investigations following latest guidance and best practices. In this course, we bring that […]
GeoPro Talks: Rethinking Relocation: Creating a Resource from Excess Soil
This interesting talk by Peter Reid. Peter is the CEO of GRT, a BC-based waste-to-resource company that produces clean, regenerated aggregates from excess soils. Before GRT, Peter was the VP, Site Assessment and Remediation at Hemmera. Peter is a past President of CSAP and has won several awards over his career for contributions to the field of Contaminated Sites Remediation […]
GeoPro Talks: Imposex in the City
As practitioners in the contaminated sites field, we know that exposure to various chemicals at concentrations above a certain threshold is bad. Sometimes, however, we do not know why they are bad. The objective of this presentation is to provide high level information related to the “bad” (i.e. toxicity). It focuses on aquatic ecological exposures […]
