New research out of Laurentain University could lead to a win-win situation for the mining and the forest industries.
PhD student Jessica Arteaga is looking into using wood sludge to remediate mine tailings.
The sludge consists of woody fibres produced as a byproduct of creating pulp. Arteaga said she hopes mixing the sludge into mine tailings will create a soil that plants can grow in.

Geoscientists in Iceland have produced the first realistic simulation of how an energy rich "magmatic intrusion" is created. The intrusions occur when a rising mass of viscous magma becomes stuck in the bedrock, and water above the intrusion reaches a "super-critical" temperature, so hot that it creates a reservoir which can produce massive amounts of geothermal electricity.
