D., Biology Date awarded: June 18, 2004 Thesis title: Chronic Toxicity of Tributyltin to Freshwater Invertebrates Project: Designed and conducted original toxicological research to examine the impact of tributyltin (TBT) to freshwater invertebrates: modelled uptake and depuration kinetics of TBT in Hyalella azteca (a freshwater crustacean); investigated the chronic toxicity of TBT in Hyalella over multiple-generations and established a relationship between TBT bioaccumulation and toxicity; compared the chronic toxicity and bioaccumulation of TBT in six species of freshwater invertebrates (including Hexagenia, Physella, Hyalella, Tubifex, Chironomus, Daphnia); and predicted the effects of TBT in harbour sediments collected from contaminated sites in the Great Lakes on natural populations of freshwater invertebrates using the relationships established previously on TBT bioaccumulation and toxicity.

Supervisor: Dr. Vince Palace (Research Scientist, Fisheries & Oceans Canada, Winnipeg, Manitoba) RESEARCH EXPERIENCE National Water Research Institute (NWRI), Environment Canada, Burlington, Ontario. Position: Research Scientist, Invertebrate Toxicology Duration: September 2007-Present Project: Research program investigates effects of organic contaminants (e.g., pesticides, PAHs, naphthenic acids, DSL compounds) singly and in mixtures to freshwater invertebrates, both as laboratory exposures to pure compounds and field-collected samples and as in situ exposures to environmental mixtures. Current research includes: determining relationships between bioaccumulation and toxicity in the laboratory to predict toxicity of field-collected samples and impacts on natural invertebrate populations; developing in situ bioassays with Hyalella to assess impacts of agricultural pesticide mixtures, industrial effluents, and oil sands mining activities; using bioindicators (e.g., acetylcholinesterase) to assess exposure to organophosphorous and carbamate insecticides; developing reproduction tests with Hyalella to assess impacts of chronic exposure to contaminants.

Education Honours B.Sc., Earth Sciences (Hydrogeology) University of Waterloo, 1996 Relevant Experience Ms. McPherson has 5 years experience coordinating and managing Environmental Assessment (EA) projects and 9 years of experience conducting and managing contaminated site assessment projects. She has specifically been involved in the reviews of mining EA’s in Alberta and BC for the Science and Policy Integration Sector of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan). In this capacity, she has coordinated the reviews and recommendations on behalf of the various sectors of NRCan (e.g. Earth Sciences Sector, Minerals and Metals Sector, Canadian Forest Service). She has supplied submissions at all stages of the EA process and most recently has coordinated NRCan’s reviews for projects such as: the Prosperity Mine Project, Shell Jackpine Mine Expansion, Mount Milligan Mine, Morrison Mine and the Northern Gateway pipeline. . Prior to her work at NRCan, Ms. McPherson administered and managed contracts related to both EA’s and contaminated site projects in the Environmental Services Division of Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC). At PWGSC she was responsible for negotiating contracts on behalf of other government departments as well as providing environmental expertise to other government departments in a variety of capacities. Her role included tasks such as: authoring various small and medium sized EA’s, managing the completion of larger EA screening reports (produced by awarded service consultants) and co-ordinating public comments for the purposes of authoring Track Reports. Ms. McPherson additionally spent 8 years in the private sector as a hydrogeologist conducting Phase I, II and III environmental site assessments of varying scope and magnitude in several cities in Canada, Europe and Australia. She has been involved in several subsurface site investigations, developed site specific groundwater criteria and conducted borehole drilling and field screening programs. Other responsibilities included conducting workshops and presentations in support of the effective environmental management in the South Pacific Island Countries.

R Ms Liao has worked as a hydrogeologist with Natural Resources Canada since 2001. She has been involved with the investigation of groundwater, surface water and precipitation in watersheds in Manitoba, Ontario, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. Her work has focused on the water cycle, groundwater contamination, nutrients in groundwater, groundwater flow dynamics, groundwater dating and the isotopic composition of groundwater. She has coordinated and conducted many fieldwork programs for sampof groundwaters, surface waters and precipitation, and water level monitoring, and has experience conducting laboratory analysis of water samples. She is aware of the types, amount andinformation that should be gathered in order to conduct a hydrogeological investigation. Ms Liao has 9 years experience reviewing Environmental Impact Statements and related documents to provide expert advice and make recommendations related to hydrogeology and groundwater. She has been involved in the review of over 40 pfour of these were Oil Sands projects.

Ms Liao has taken undergraduate, post-graduate and professional courses in applied ground water modelling, the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, the Canadian Oil Sands, environmental science, FEFLOW, low-temperature geochemistry, metallogeny, MODFLOW, physical and chemical hydrogeology, and tailings/mine waste, all relevant toinformation provided in an Oil Sands mining project.

EDUCATION/HONOURS

1975 BSc. in Chemistry, (Magna Cum Laude) University of Saskatchewan 1981 Ph.D. in Chemistry, University of British Columbia 2003 Elected as a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Chemistry AREAS OF EXPERIENCE Randy Mikula has more than 20 years experience in researching oil sands tailings behaviour, including water chemistry and clay interactions. Projects have included pilot and commercial scale demonstrations of the gypsum consolidated tailings (CT) process, as well as work on carbon dioxide as a CT process aid. This research involves investigation of the fundamental chemistry of the carbon dioxide-clay interaction, including CT formation mechanisms and the potential for carbon dioxide sequestration. The program of fundamental research, directed at oil sands tailings handling solutions has been a powerful combination. This has resulted in varied opportunities to discuss his work, ranging from testifying as an expert witness in the Shell-Albian environmental impact review, to public lectures on the role of nanotechnology in oil sands development (Visioning Alberta’s Future: The role of Nanotechnology in the Oil Sands Industry). Most recently, Dr. Mikula has helped to coordinate the scientific program around development and pilot scale demonstration of centrifuged fluid fine tailings at Syncrude, a program that will likely grow to a commercial demonstration.

The link between tailings management and recycle water means that Dr. Mikula also has significant experience in oil sands extraction. He has worked on oil sands extraction process chemistry for the slurry tank, hydrotransport, Clark, OSLO, Bitmin, and other novel extraction processes. This includes fundamental, pilot and commercial scale projects on tailings and extraction behaviour as a function of water chemistry.

Dr. Mikula’s expertise in microscopy and fine particle characterization is widely recognized and has resulted in significant technical contributions to a variety of research projects outside of his extensive expertise in oil sands and heavy oil. Examples include contributions to research into lead exposure in the inner city, co-supervision of a Ph.D. thesis in sol-gel synthesis of metal sulphides, and co-supervision of a Ph.D. thesis on stabilization of hazardous wastes in cement. The microscopy facility he established almost 15 years ago remains the focal point for the research programs in emulsions and tailings that he oversees. He has served at various times on the executive of the local and national sections of the Microscopical Society of Canada and is currently treasurer of the Alberta section, second vice president for the national society, and served as scientific chair for the 2007 MSC conference.

Dr. Mikula is team leader of CANMET’s research group in extraction and tailings science and technology.
