Genetic mapping and physiological characterization of water-use efficiency in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) on the Canadian Prairies
DownloadFall 2011
Temporal or seasonal water deficit is one of the major factors limiting crop yield on the Canadian Prairies. Empirical knowledge suggests that carbon isotope discrimination (Δ13C), through its negative relationship with water-use efficiency (WUE), is a good index for selecting crop varieties...

Integrating Data Analytics and Mass Balance Approaches to Estimate and Understand Regional Methane Emissions: A Study in the Permian Basin
DownloadFall 2023
Satellite-retrieved methane (CH4) concentration data offers a valuable opportunity for large-scale emissions monitoring. However, its widespread adoption remains challenging due to the data volume and varying data quality. A workflow to estimate the methane emission rate of major hydrocarbon...

Investigating the catalyitc combustion of methane and BTEX in a counter-diffusive radiant heater
DownloadSpring 2011
This research was aimed at investigating a counter-diffusive catalytic reactor for mitigation of methane and BTEX emissions from the natural gas dehydration process. A commercial radiant heater unit was used in the experiments and the effect of methane flow rate on its conversion was studied....

Measurements of Methane Pyrolysis in a Constant Volume Batch Reactor at High Temperatures and Pressures
DownloadFall 2021
Methane pyrolysis is a process used to generate hydrogen gas and carbon black without the creation of carbon dioxide. Methane pyrolysis in a constant volume batch reactor was investigated at temperatures of 892 K, 1093 K, and 1292 K with reaction times of 15 s, 30 s, 60 s, 180 s, and 300 s with...

Methane Production and Emission Mitigation in Oil Sands Tailings Concurrent with Hydrocarbon Degradation under Nitrogen Limited Conditions
DownloadFall 2020
Alberta’s oil sands generate large volumes of tailings from bitumen ore processing. These tailings ponds produce biogenic methane, which can be measured across 60-80% of the tailings surface. Based on current surface area data and emissions studies, tailings ponds could account for 8% of Canada’s...

Collins, Catherine Elizabeth Victoria
Surface mining for bitumen extraction results in production of tailings that are deposited into large ponds. Tailings in the ponds support diverse microbial communities capable of metabolizing organic compounds and producing biogenic gases (methane, CH4 and carbon dioxide, CO2). Because of low...

Perceptions of Science and Expertise Among Alternative Ranchers in Alberta, Canada: A Qualitative and Actor-Network Analysis
DownloadFall 2021
Dlusskaya, Kira Konstantinovna
Raising animals has been an important aspect of human food systems for millennia, but with growing climate concerns, the management of animal agriculture, including beef production, needs to adhere to environmental best practices. Determining what these practices are has been the subject of much...
