This information will help researchers understand how small-scale processes affect downstream water resources. </p> Tue, 11 Nov 2025 19:03:35 +0000 kay.pettigrew@mcgill.ca 327825 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/climate-change-could-result-contaminant-spread-high-arctic-mcgill-study-finds-368766 <p>Warming temperatures and increased precipitation in the Canadian High Arctic are mobilizing new pathways for subsurface contaminants to spread from more than 2,500 contaminated sites associated with industrial and military sites across the region.</p> Wed, 05 Nov 2025 22:11:28 +0000 kay.pettigrew@mcgill.ca 327386 at /newsroom /newsroom/jeffrey-mckenzie Thu, 19 Dec 2019 19:35:06 +0000 Anonymous 24046 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/paris-climate-change-conference-november-2015-256412 <p></p> <p> </p> <p>The 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP 21, will be held in Paris from November 30 to December 11.
