Geoscientists track how elements cycle across land, air and water to better understand climate change, ecological food webs and resources, plant nutrient cycling, water use and for forensics purposes. But until now, they have only been able to parse inputs of such elements as carbon or nitrogen in a system when there are two sources. Yet many natural systems may have three or more interdependent sources, leaving researchers unable to separate inputs from one source to another and hindering them from understanding how sources may interact with each other to affect overall carbon or nitrogen cycling in that system.

An exploration team from De Beers Canada was expected to be in northern Ontario's remote Weenusk First Nation recently, to seek community support to conduct diamond exploration work.
Weenusk First Nation, or Peawanuck, is a small community of nearly 400 people, 1,400 kilometres north of Toronto, on the shores of the Winisk River.
The Cree community is divided on whether or not they support mining in their ecologically sensitive and undisturbed traditional lands.

Researchers at the University of Waterloo think they have found a better way to clean harmful toxins from the billions of tonnes of wastewater that is produced by Alberta's infamous oil sands.
The process, which employs a chemical reaction called photocatalysis, can remove naphthenic acids from tailings ponds that would otherwise contain the harmful byproducts of crude oil refining by exposing them to sunlight and nanoparticles.

A new industry coming to Timmins will expand the area's mining service and supply sector expertise, while creating employment for locals.
This fall, Texas-headquartered Calabrian announced it would build a liquid sulphur dioxide production plant in Timmins to serve the mining, paper, and water treatment sectors.
Construction was to begin recently, and production is expected to start by the fourth quarter of 2016. The new plant will require 20 employees.

A Jordan winery is celebrating the installation of a groundbreaking way to clean its waste water.
Cave Spring Cellars has become the first for any Canadian food and beverage company to permanently set up a BioGill cleansing system.
The spark for that change came as the winery was contending with thousands of dollars in annual wastewater sewer surcharges from Niagara Region, and dealing with related odour concerns.

Tectonic plates may be similar to chocolate candies: Stiff on the outside, but as soft as marshmallow fluff on the inside.
That is the conclusion of a new study that suggests at least some of the rigid plates that cover the Earth's surface may be stretchier than thought.
The plate tectonics findings, which were described recently in the journal Nature Geoscience, are based on investigations of the region under Peru, where the Nazca Plate is diving beneath the continental South American Plate.
