Masters thesis. Examines significant aspects of hydrogeology, hydrogeochemistry, and evidence of groundwater flow as basis for understanding groundwater distribution and development in permafrost regions. Engineering considerations on development of groundwater resources and prevention of icings...

Application of SWAT-MODFLOW Software to Evaluate Groundwater-Surface Water Interaction in West-Central Alberta
DownloadFall 2018
Responsible watershed management is emerging as a key issue as humanity continues to place increasing demands on water resources. To meet future demands, it has become imperative that water resources be managed as a holistic system rather than solely focusing on individual aspects....

I investigated cellular mechanisms of ion and acid-base transport in rainbow trout (Oncorhyncus mykiss), crabs (Neohelice granulata), zebrafish (Danio rerio), Pacific hagfish (Eptatretus stoutii), and mosquito larvae (Aedes aegypti) with a primary focus on discerning the mechanisms governing ion...

Early life exposure to stress can have life-long effects on an organism. These effects may be detrimental, or they may be adaptive if they allow the organism to develop an adult phenotype which better matches the environment predicted by the stressor. Early life stress influences many traits,...

Decades of fish introductions into mountain lakes have altered invertebrate communities. I assessed the current status of fish populations and their effects on crustacean zooplankton communities by sampling 37 lakes in the mountain parks, where stocking practices had been halted over 25 years...

Anthropogenic contaminants can impair olfactory responses to natural odorants. In fishes, these impairments may be used as a metric of sub-lethal toxicity. My studies aimed to determine the effects of two contaminant sources on fish olfaction as measured by electro-olfactography (EOG). The...

Understanding peoples' preferences for resources that are not bought or sold in a market is a challenging and yet often inescapable undertaking for informing decisions regarding many environmental problems. This thesis presents three studies on how people make decisions involving environmental...

Since antiquity, fever has been documented as a physiological response to infection characterized by an increase in body temperature. Though fever is commonly regarded as a deleterious symptom of inflammation and is often suppressed using NSAID drugs, little is known about the effects that fever...

Patterns of stream temperature and the influence of groundwater in northern Rocky Mountain watersheds
DownloadFall 2023
Stream temperature is an important water quality parameter linked to biotic and abiotic processes that influence the abundance and distribution of aquatic organisms. Stream temperatures can be highly variable through space and time and are determined by energy flux processes. Key energy flux...
