Plastic products have become a necessary part of our day-to-day lives. They are useful because they are incredibly stable and durable, but what are the consequences? Nanoplastics are small pieces of plastic, from 1000 nm to 1 nm, that are either formed in factories or from the degradation of...

Nitrogen Loadings in Stormwater and Snowmelt from Cold-region Urban Catchments in 1991 – 2018 and Prediction for Year 2050
DownloadSpring 2022
Urban stormwater and snowmelt runoff has become a primary source of pollution in receiving water bodies (e.g., rivers, lakes and oceans), causing eutrophication, harmful algae blooms and hypoxia and many other environmental issues. It is therefore imperative to study pollutant loadings from urban...

Planktonic and Epipelic Algal Communities and their Relationship to Physical and Chemical Variables in Alpine Ponds in Banff National Park, Canada
Download2005
McMaster, N. L., Schindler, D. W.
We surveyed 14 ponds in 1999 and 28 ponds in 2000 to better understand the basic limnology of alpine ponds and to predict how the planktonic and epipelic (sediment-living) algal communities may respond to nutrient deposition and climate change. Based on nitrogen to phosphorus ratios, nitrogen...

The Rocky Mountain apollo butterfly, Parnassius smintheus, and its host-plant Sedum lanceolatum, are endemic to open alpine meadows threatened by the encroachment of trees. I explore variability in interactions between P. smintheus and S. lanceolatum relative to the treeline-delimited meadow...

Polar bear (Ursus maritimus) foraging, spatial, and energetics ecology in the changing Arctic
DownloadFall 2020
Climate warming in the Arctic has resulted in rapid and extensive changes to sea ice dynamics and profound ecological impacts, including changes to the timing of life history events, community structure, and food web dynamics. Sea ice-dependent species such as polar bears (Ursus maritimus) are...

DownloadSpring 2023
The drastic and immediate reduction of global greenhouse gases (GHG) is vital if humanity is to avoid the moderate to severe effects of a changing climate. To successfully lower these emissions, it is necessary to integrate and harmonize GHG reduction policies across horizontal and vertical...
