Effect of climate change on permafrost microbiome at the Pleistocene-Holocene and Holocene-Anthropocene transitions
DownloadSpring 2021
Understanding past and future responses of Arctic soil microbes to climate change is critical to an understanding of ecosystem function and climate change feedbacks; the goal of my thesis was to obtain a clearer understanding of these feedbacks. The remnants of the Pleistocene and early Holocene...

Microbial Community Dynamics in the Hydraulic Fracturing Water Cycle from Two Newly Fractured Shale Gas Wells in the Duvernay Formation, Alberta
DownloadFall 2017
The microbial ecology of the hydraulic fracturing water cycle may influence the efficiency of shale gas production and strategies for water reuse and treatment. In this study, microbial community dynamics were tracked by sequencing of 16S rRNA genes coupled with enumeration of live/dead cells in...
