Fall 2016
As resource exploitation and development expands in northern Canada, threats to the ecological integrity of freshwater systems increase. In Canada, developments that could negatively affect aquatic ecosystems require offsetting or compensation measures. As a result of diamond mine development, a...

Fall 2014
The development of the Diavik diamond mine destroyed pristine lakes and streams in Barrenlands region of northern Canada. Subsequently, several fish habitat compensation projects were undertaken to offset these losses. The M-Lakes project was intended to enhance the productive capacity of a...

Environmental ecosystems are complex. Evaluating only one aspect of an ecosystem, does not provide a true measure of its impact. The same is true for information literacy. To evaluate information literacy goals only in a class setting, without taking into account other factors, does not provide...

Ecohydraulics of Nature-Like Fishways and Applications in Arctic Aquatic Ecosystem Connectivity
DownloadFall 2015
Northern Canada is currently undergoing rapid mineral extraction development. As part of this development there is a need to perform fish habitat compensation projects and build effective fish passage facilities. There is currently limited information available on the hydraulics of nature-like...

Tonn, W.M., Katopodis, C., Jones, N.E., Scrimgeour, G.J.
We examined spatiotemporal variation in the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of pristine streams that represent a range of conditions near Lac de Gras in the Barrenlands region of the Northwest Territories, Canada. Principal component analysis organized streams into four groups...

Fall 2017
Resource development can lead to the harmful alteration, disruption, or destruction of fish habitat. During Diavik Diamond Mine, Inc.’s (DDMI) development of its facilities at Lac de Gras (LDG), NWT, DDMI destroyed two small headwater lakes and associated streams. To help offset this loss, DDMI...

Habitat use by fluvial Arctic Grayling (Thymallus arcticus) in mountain streams of the Little Nahanni watershed, Northwest Territories
DownloadFall 2020
Northern aquatic ecosystems face increasing pressures from climate change and natural resource development, raising conservation concerns for species in these vast and remote regions. Arctic Grayling (Thymallus arcticus) have a Holarctic distribution and are a sensitive freshwater fish that...

Fall 2014
I investigated the population and landscape genetics of Arctic Grayling (Thymallus arcticus) distributed throughout several connected river systems in Alberta, Canada. Broad- and fine-scale population structure was examined by genotyping nine microsatellite loci in 1,116 Arctic Grayling captured...

Regional assessment of the effects of land use on water quality: A case study in the Oldman River Basin, Alberta
DownloadFall 2010
Protecting and managing Canadian water resources in the face of growing cumulative effects and non-point source pollution from development (industrial, agricultural, and urban), depends on defensible, scientifically founded, watershed assessments. The objectives of this research were to broadly...
