Some scientists believe human activity and technology have pushed us into a new geological epoch called the Anthropocene. What they still need to figure out is exactly when this turning point began.
A team of researchers from three universities in Ontario is betting the answer lies at the bottom of a lake in Milton, just west of Toronto.
"We feel strongly that Crawford Lake has all the right stuff," said Francine McCarthy, the team's leader and an earth sciences professor at Brock University who has been studying the lake since the 1980s.

In the last five years, more than one trillion litres of sewage has leaked into Canada's lakes and rivers. Last year alone, data provided by the federal government reported 215 billion litres of raw sewage leaked into our waters across the country. To put that in perspective, that is enough waste to fill nearly 86,000 Olympic-size pools.
Most Canadian cities don't monitor how much sewage leaks into their rivers, lakes or oceans in real time. In an effort to change that, Kingston, ON, has become the first Canadian city to install monitors in its pipes to measure the amount of sewage leaking in real time.

With more than 10 years in operation as Ontario's first and only diamond mine, the chief executive at De Beers Canada said the company is now preparing for the closure of the Victor Mine located in the James Bay Lowlands next winter.
Kim Truter, who is also company president, said this week the Victor Mine was very well-run, but admitted there might be better ways in the future to run a mining project and keep the First Nations communities more satisfied. He said the time might be right to consider other forms of financial partnerships.

More hot and dry weather in the region has forced Quinte Conservation to issue a Level 2 Low Water Condition for the Salmon River Watershed.
Localized rains over the last few weeks have helped to relieve some stress in areas while recent rainfall has helped to revitalize grass and vegetation, but has had a minimal impact on water flows and levels.

The world's oldest rocks, which come from a river in the Northwest Territories, are the subject of a new paper looking into the Earth's earliest moments.
Rocks at the Acasta River, north of Wekweètì, are four billion years old — the oldest known rock formation on the planet.
The composition of the rocks is different to that of the Earth's early crust, which prompted researchers to explore why that should be.
