Social Construction of Cyanobacteria Blooms in Quebec [PDF]
SAGE Open, 2017 Using a political ecology perspective, this research examines the social issues of cyanobacteria. In Québec (Canada), public health officials issue warnings concerning water-related activities and water consumption. An ethnographic study was undertaken with the aim of gaining a better understanding of the attitudes of citizens toward cyanobacteria and ...

Summer heatwaves promote blooms of harmful cyanobacteria [PDF]
Global Change Biology, 2007 AbstractDense surface blooms of toxic cyanobacteria in eutrophic lakes may lead to mass mortalities of fish and birds, and provide a serious health threat for cattle, pets, and humans. It has been argued that global warming may increase the incidence of harmful algal blooms.

Phanerozoic Large Igneous Province, Petroleum System, and Source Rock Links
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 191-228., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.
