2) We know this since we can replace industry estimates with objective areal measurements.

High level BC government officials and ministers lobbied against @IJCsharedwaters involvement in transboundary pollution issues stemming from Teck's Elk Valley coal mines — something @ktunaxanation has called for repeatedly over 10 years #bcpoli#mtpol
Reason #436 why AB shouldn't let foreign coal companies & dishonest govt strip mine our Rockies and mess with our increasingly scarce water & our ranch country. (And I guarantee they won't stick around to clean up the mess, either, that's on the taxpayer)

Super happy with this one! All about a novel vector of organics contaminant pollution from the coal mines in the Elk Valley, BC, Canada "Transboundary Atmospheric Pollution from Mountaintop Coal Mining" https://t.co/UF4C0D6CL7
Help please! We found these in a sediment core from a cenote in north-central Cuba - they look like seeds. Any idea as to what they are? The scale at top is in mm. Thanks :) @crystalmcmic @Lakemud1 @JacquelynGill @palaeolim@yoshi_maezumi
