The Bakken Formation is the most productive formation in the Williston Basin and one of the most important tight oil plays in North America. Oil in the Bakken Formation has been shown to migrate from the mature, central portion of the Williston Basin outwards towards the less mature portions of...

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...

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...

Nutrient and carbon export from a tidewater glacier to the coastal ocean in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago
DownloadSpring 2021
As glaciers melt, a range of on-, in-, and under-glacier processes modify and export freshwater and sediments to the ocean. This glacial runoff may influence biological productivity in coastal ecosystems by supplying essential nutrients and labile carbon. Previous studies of glacial meltwater...

Physics of wastewater flow and pathogen transport processes from a soil-based at-grade effluent treatment system and associated groundwater contamination risks in Alberta, Canada
DownloadSpring 2015
Understanding of wastewater flow and transport processes and treatment effectiveness through the soil-absorption field of soil-based wastewater treatment systems remains a challenge. In addition, Alberta regulators and the on-site wastewater industry wanted to quantify the effectiveness of the...

Regional Groundwater Modelling for Flow Analysis and Investigation of Alternative Water Resources in the Edmonton Region, Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2022
Water resources in the Edmonton region are expected to be increasingly threatened by climate change and/or contamination in the coming decades. Currently, the sole source of water for the city of Edmonton is the North Saskatchewan River (NSR). This makes Edmonton vulnerable to changes in water...

Twelve deep aquifers and 12 aquitards were defined in southwestern Saskatchewan. Four major water types were identified: Type 1 (Ca-SO4) freshwaters, found in Paleozoic aquifers; Type 2 (Na-Cl) brines, found in all aquifers; Type 3 (Na-SO4) waters, mixture of Type 1 and Type 2 waters; and Type 4...

Boreal peatlands are widely considered as an important carbon sink. Peat moisture is important for controlling carbon sequestration and smouldering combustion. Retrieving surface moisture is of great interest for carbon budget modelling and fire management in peatlands. To monitor at a large...
