Abstract: The Upper Devonian Duvernay Formation is composed of basin-filling sediments ranging from floatstones to organic-rich mudstones. The organic-rich mudstones were subjected to the appropriate burial depth, pressure, and temperatures to constitute an unconventional reservoir target. The...

The intertidal zone provides extensive habitat around the world for countless species, but there are many challenges associated with life in this region. In particular, intertidal organisms may be subjected to hours of air exposure during low tide. Tidal emersion from water is potentially a major...

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...

Assimilated non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) can be stored as reserves in plants and remobilized during periods of asynchrony between carbon acquisition and carbon demand to fuel essential metabolic functions and growth. However, the framework of NSC allocation to reserves and their...

Forests account for one third of land area, and two third of global photosynthesis. The better we know about forests, the better decisions we can make on forest management and carbon cycle modeling. During the last decades, we see the development in remote sensing techniques for forest...

This work aimed to improve the evaluation of atmospheric black carbon (BC) mixing states by using a tandem Centrifugal Particle Mass Analyzer (CPMA), and Single Particle Soot Photometer (SP2) system. To derive a BC mixing state using the CPMA SP2 system, the measurements should be deconvolved...
