Spring 2023
Switchable hydrophilicity solvents (SHSs) are solvents defined by their ability to switch from their hydrophobic form to a hydrophilic form when put in contact with an acidic trigger such as CO2. As a consequence, SHSs qualify as promising alternatives to volatile organic compounds during the...

Sediment in storm sewers attracts increasing attentions in recent years due to two major issues including the sewer blockage and the environmental contamination. Pollutants attached to fine sediment surface may adversely affect aquatic life and natural water bodies. Excessive sediment deposition...

Estimation of spatiotemporal transmission dynamics and analysis of management scenarios for sea lice of farmed and wild salmon
Download2020-01-01
Stephanie J. Peacock, Martin Krkošek, Andrew W. Bateman, Mark A. Lewis
Parasite transmission between farmed and wild salmon affects the sustainability of salmon aquaculture in Pacific Canada. Understanding and managing parasites in aquaculture is challenged by spatial and temporal variation in transmission dynamics. We developed a mechanistic model that connects sea...

Numerical modelling of the Arctic and North Atlantic exchanges with NEMO: Focus on freshwater and dynamics
DownloadFall 2018
The Arctic is currently undergoing significant changes due to increasing anthropogenic greenhouse gases causing atmospheric warming. The impact of this warming is clearly visible in the Arctic: reduced sea-ice cover, enhanced land-ice melting, increased frequency of extreme weather, etc....

Community-Driven Research in the Canadian Arctic: Investigating the Effect of Dietary Exposure to Methylmercury on the Severity of Chronic Inflammation and Gastric Neoplasia in Populations with an Elevated Risk of Gastric Cancer
DownloadFall 2017
Introduction While gastric cancer has been declining in incidence for decades globally, it remains a major cause of death. Evidence suggests that Indigenous populations worldwide experience a higher burden of gastric cancer relative to non-Indigenous populations residing in the same geographic...

Records of atmospheric mercury deposition and post-depositional mobility in peat permafrost archives from central and northern Yukon, Canada
DownloadFall 2017
Environmental archives provide a feasible means for studying the biogeochemical cycling of heavy metals including mercury (Hg). Although many temperate peat bogs have been successfully used to reconstruct natural and anthropogenic atmospheric Hg deposition fluxes, northern circumpolar permafrost...

Spring 2017
Electrically induced instability of thin liquid films is a contactless pattern transfer method, often called electrohydrodynamic (EHD) lithography, which has gained extensive attention due to its ability in creation of novel micro- and nano-sized structures. The need for powerful microprocessors...

Mercury and methylmercury in snowpacks, snowmelt, and tailings ponds of the Athabasca Oil Sands Region, Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2017
The Alberta Oil Sands Region (AOSR) is the third largest proven oil reserve in the world and one of Canada’s major economic drivers. Industrialized extraction of this resource has resulted in the release of contaminants from various sources, such as stack emissions, volatilization and leakage of...

Growth and Characterization of Metastable Hexagonal Nickel Thin Films via Plasma-Enhanced Atomic Layer Deposition
Download2017-07-01
Motamedi, Pouyan, Bosnick, ken, Cui, Kai, Cadien, Ken, Hogan, James D.
There is a great interest in various branches of the advanced materials industry for the development of novel methods (and improvements to existing ones) for the deposition of conformal ultrathin metallic films. In most of these applications, like enhanced solar absorbers and microelectronics,...

Effects of long-term nitrogen and sulfur deposition on soil microbial communities and soil properties in the Athabasca oil sands region in northern Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2016
Intensified oil sands activities have resulted in elevated levels of nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) deposition in the mixedwood boreal forest in the Athabasca oil sands region (AOSR) of northern Alberta, Canada. The deposition of N and S can affect the surrounding ecosystem and it is important to...
