Growth and Physiological Responses of Conifer Seedlings to Salt Stress and Nutrient Deficiency
DownloadSpring 2018
Oil sands extraction and refining can cause many negative environmental impacts and because these activities usually take place in the forest region, the Government of Alberta requires that, after mine sites are closed, the companies perform reclamation. The properties of reclaimed oil sands...

A coarse resolution model is developed to study the thermohaline circulation of the North Atlantic. This model is driven by the annual mean Hellerman and Rosenstein wind stress field, Levitus sea surface restoring temperatures, and Schmitt, Bogden, and Dorman freshwater flux fields (mixed...

Observations on the dispersal of saline groundwater in the Beaver Creek Diversion system, 1976-1978
Download1979
Killworth, P.D., Carmack, E.C.
The dispersal of saline groundwater in the Beaver Creek Diversion System is described using data from a two-year physical limnology monitor of the system. Emphasis is placed on processes influencing temporal and spatial patterns in circulation, stratification and saline water distributions....
