Citation:
Keating, T. Transboundary Environmental Problems and Canada – United States Cooperation. EM: AIR AND WASTE MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION'S MAGAZINE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGERS. Air & Waste Management Association, Pittsburgh, PA, , 1-2, (2019).
Impact/Purpose:
This is a short introduction to a series of 5 articles that are to appear in EM magazine of the Air and Waste Management Association. I was invited by the EM editorial committee to invite authors to contribute to a series of articles exploring transboundary problems and US/Canada cooperation in recognition of the AWMA annual meeting taking place in Quebec City, Canada. Two of the articles are written by university researchers, one is written by the CEC secretariat, and two are written by teams of scientists led by USEPA and Environment and Climate Change Canada.
Description:
This is a short introduction to a series of 5 articles that explore transboundary environmental issues and cooperation between Canada and the United States. One article focuses on the successes of the Commission on Environmental Cooperation in the areas of hazardous waste and pollution management. Two articles focus on current transboundary environmental challenges: one on mercury contamination in the Great Lakes and one on wildfires in western North America. The final two articles focus on US/Canadian collaborations to improve the tools that we use to understand transboundary environmental problems: one focuses on measurement model fusion techniques applied to atmospheric deposition and the other focuses on deployment of a network of ground-based Pandora spectrometers for measuring atmospheric composition.
