Spring 2016
Understanding factors affecting elemental carbon stocks on Alberta’s grasslands is of special importance with recent policy shifts focusing on climate change and carbon (C) emissions. A large part of Alberta is native prairie utilized by the beef industry. This study examined soil and vegetation...

Impacts of climate change from 2000 to 2050 on wildfire activity and carbonaceous aerosol concentrations in the western United States
Download2009
Mickley, L.J., Westerling, A.L., Logan, J.A., Hudman, R.C., Flannigan, M.D., Spracklen, D.V., Yevich, R.
We investigate the impact of climate change on wildfire activity and carbonaceous aerosol concentrations in the western United States. We regress observed area burned onto observed meteorological fields and fire indices from the Canadian Fire Weather Index system and find that May-October mean...

Implementation and Evaluation of Spatiotemporal Prediction Algorithms and Prediction of Spatially Distributed Greenhouse Gas Inventories
DownloadFall 2011
Growing environmental concerns require monitoring and modelling of greenhouse gases. These modelling efforts require processing of massive datasets in a timely fashion. This, in turn, can lead to feasibility problems when estimating values of missing data points. This thesis examines and compares...

Improving Measurements of the Mixing State and Mass Concentration of Particulate Emissions from Aircraft Engines
DownloadSpring 2016
This research is focused towards improving techniques used to measure particulate emissions from aircraft engines, on two fronts: first, to characterize and quantify the mixing state of particulate emissions; and second, to calibrate black carbon mass instruments with a traceable mass...

Investigating the Microwave Behaviour of Solid Carbon in Natural Gas Pyrolysis under Microwave Irradiation
DownloadSpring 2024
The rising levels of carbon dioxide emissions stemming from the combustion of fossil fuels necessitate immediate attention to implement sustainable energy solutions. Hydrogen as a fuel, holds significant potential for establishing CO2-neutral systems, and the utilization of microwave pyrolysis of...

A Large Fire Database (LFDB), which includes information on fire location, start date, final size, cause, and suppression action, has been developed for all fires larger than 200 ha in area for Canada for the 1959-1997 period. The LFDB represents only 3.1% of the total number of Canadian fires...

Microbead-assisted high resolution microwave planar ring resonator for organic-vapor sensing
Download2015-01-01
Zarifi, Mohammad H., Fayaz, Mohammadreza, Goldthorp, Jordan, Abdolrazzaghi, Mohammad, Hashisho, Zaher, Daneshmand, Mojgan
A microbead-assisted planar microwave resonator for organic vaporsensing applications is presented. The core of this sensor is a planarmicrostrip split-ring resonator, integrated with an active feedback loop to enhance the initial quality factor from 200 to ∼1 M at an operational resonance...

Desai, A., Grant, R.F., Sulman, B.
Responses of wetland productivity to changes in water table depth (WTD) are controlled by complex interactions among several soil and plant processes, and hence are site-specific rather than general in nature. Hydrological controls on wetland productivity were studied by representing these...
