Understanding the sources and pathways of pollutant transport to Arctic is fundamental our custody this sensitive ecosystem. To achieve such an understanding, we need go beyond a catalog environmental concentrations. Sediments, which are final sink for particle-active contaminants, can provide valuable resource assess fluxes contaminants. Here, interpret PAH distributions from widely distributed marine sediments both as indicators anthropogenic contribution illuminate pathways. We use...
Petroleum has been found in Canadian frontier basins reservoirs which have undergone low levels of thermal alteration (vitrinite reflectance <=0.6%Ro). Paraffin indices, stable carbon and hydrogen isotope contents, pristane to nC17 ratios, diterpenoid biologic markers used assess the level maturity hydrocarbons reservoir independently itself surrounding shale units. In Tertiary Beaufort-Mackenzie basin, naphthenic oils condensates generated from terrestrially derived organic matter source...
Cretaceous volcanic rocks, which consist mainly of basalt flows and pyroclastic occur on northern Ellesmere Island, Axel Heiberg northernmost Amund Ringnes Island as part the Sverdrup Basin succession. Volcanic rocks are associated with each four regional transgressive–regressive (T–R) cycles that constitute clastic succession Valanginian – early Barremian, late Barremian Aptian, latest Aptian Cenomanian, Cenomanian Maastrichtian age; component increases northward. The centre volcanism...

Pinosylvin dimethyl ether and three other stilbene ethers were prepared by condensing the appropriate diethylbenzylphosphonates with an aromatic aldehyde. Cleavage of pinosylvin boron tribromide gave in good yield monomethyl ether, while fusion pyridine hydrochloride yielded pinosylvin.

The Rock-Eval thermal maturation parameter (Tmax) may occasionally be suppressed relative to surrounding rock units. This is commonly assumed result from either a bitumen contribution the S2 peak or presence of sulfur-rich (and hence thermally labile) kerogen. phenomenon frequently coincident with high natural gamma-ray signature and elevated hydrogen index (HI) total organic carbon (TOC) contents. Determination maturity such units relies on interpolation Tmax direct estimation extent...
The Ordovician Trenton Group (Sherman Fall and Cobourg formations) the Lindsay (Collingwood Member) Blue Mountain formations of southwestern Ontario were examined using Rock-Eval pyrolysis, gas chromatography, chromatography-mass spectrometry, incident-light microscopy to evaluate their paleodepositional environments, thermal maturities, source rock potential. All units contain sufficient amount oil-prone (type II), predominantly marine organic matter be considered as petroleum rocks....
Institut Francais du Petrole's two-dimensional model, temispack, is used to discuss the functioning of petroleum systems in Williston basin along a 330-km-long section, focusing on four regional source intervals: Ordovician Yeoman formation, Lower Devonian Winnipegosis Formation, Upper DevonianuLower Mississippian Bakken and Lodgepole formation. Thermal history calibration against present temperature rock maturity profiles suggests that can be divided into region constant heat flow about 55...
ABSTRACT Four petrographically and compositionally distinctive source rocks in southeastern Saskatchewan southwestern Manitoba produce oils with restricted stratigraphic occurrence, which includes their sources. Kukersites, marine Type I Middle Upper Ordovician formations, are the of (Family A) occur to Devonian strata characterized by diagnostic saturate fraction gas chromatograms (SFGC) accompanied low C23 tricyclic/C30 pentacyclic terpane (C23/C30) ratios a C34 hopane prominence....
