S. LIPOTH is an academic who published a paper in 2023 entitled Climate change considerations for metals sequestration in mine-impacted wetlands in northern Saskatc. S. LIPOTH published this work as part of a team: Gault, A.. Here is a description of this work: Natural wetlands have demonstrated abilities for sequestering metals and, along with constructed wetlands, are becoming popular as a sustainable and passive form of water treatment at abandoned mine sites. The sequestration of metals, such as aluminum, iron, uranium, and radium-226 within natural wetlands has been observed at a series of abandoned uranium mines in northern Saskatchewan. These sites are being managed by the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) through risk assessment in support of permanent closure, however, during the risk assessment process, the longevity and sustainability of metals treatment within these wetlands under a changing climate is being considered. This paper will outline the sequestration pathways within a wetland which receives mine drainage water and discuss potential for the anticipated changes u.
