North Saskatchewan Watershed Alliance (NSWA)

The North Saskatchewan River Basin (NSRB) exhibits significant spatial variability in temperature and precipitation, both within any given year and from year to year. In the mountains and higher foothills, precipitation tends to be relatively high and evapotranspiration low, resulting in high...

The overall purpose of the study is to evaluate how water trading could improve water use efficiency in southern Alberta, Canada and how benefits of water reallocation could be achieved in the Nile River basin in Africa. The impact of water scarcity has become more prominent in these areas in...

Two structure-function hypotheses were tested for vesselless angiosperm wood. First, vesselless angiosperm wood should have much higher flow resistance than conifer wood because angiosperm tracheids lack low-resistance torus-margo pits. Second, vesselless wood ought to be exceptionally safe from...

Bark beetles are important agents of tree mortality in conifer forests and their interaction with trees is influenced by host defense chemicals, such as monoterpenes and phenolics. Since mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) has expanded its host range from lodgepole pine (Pinus...

Selenium is toxic in excess with a high mobility in water. Existing adsorbents only show some removal capacity for selenite but perform poorly (typical removal percentage < 50 %) for selenate, the more bioavailable and soluble species. In this thesis, two Magnetic particle-Graphene Oxide...

The relationship between water-level fluctuations of lakes and fire activity has never been elucidated in great detail. The majority of scientific research on wildfire-hydro-climate-vegetation dynamics examines patterns of traditional climatological variables such as temperature and precipitation...

Adhesion of frozen granular materials on solid surfaces creates various problems for surface cleaning, reduces the carrying capacity of vehicles, and increases energy consumption for inland transportation. Here in the first part of this thesis, water content demonstrates to determine the adhesion...

Quinary and senary non-stoichiometric double perovskites such as Ba2Ca0.66Nb1.34−xFexO6−δ (BCNF) have been utilized for gas sensing, solid oxide fuel cells and thermochemical CO2 reduction. Herein, we examined their potential as narrow bandgap semiconductors for use in solar energy harvesting. A...
