A range-wide common garden experiment of white spruce indicates population differentiation in drought tolerance traits
DownloadFall 2019
In western regions of the Canadian boreal forest, mean annual temperature has increased by 1.5 to 2.5 °C, significantly exceeding the mean global temperature increase. Climate conditions have also become drier and together these climate trends have induced widespread growth reductions, dieback...

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....

Land use and land use change strongly influence the carbon (C) dynamics within ecosystems. This study quantified four aspects of land use and land use change effects: 1) ecosystem C stocks and distribution; 2) soil respiration; 3) soil C mineralization; and 4) net ecosystem productivity. Land use...

Characterizing the Organic Composition of Snow and Surface Water Across the Athabasca Region: Phase 2
Download2014-12-15
Gibson, J., Birks, J., Cho, S., Taylor, E., Yi, Y.
This study was conducted to characterize the composition of polar dissolved organic compounds present in snow and surface waters in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region (AOSR) with the goal of identifying whether atmospherically-derived organics present in snow are an important contributor to the...

Computations Reveal That Electron-Withdrawing Leaving Groups Facilitate Intramolecular Conjugate Displacement Reactions by Negative Hyperconjugation.
Download2016-01-01
Noey, Elizabeth L., Jiménez-Osés, Gonzalo, Clive, Derrick J. L., Houk, K. N.
Intramolecular conjugate displacement (ICD) reactions, developed by the Clive group, form carbocycles and cyclic amines by intramolecular nucleophilic attack on a Michael acceptor with an allylic leaving group. Quantum mechanical investigations with density functional theory show that ICDs...

Conductive Atomic Force Microscopy Study of Electron Transport Through Diazonium Derived Films and Mixed – Mode Bonded Layers on Gold and Carbon Surfaces
DownloadSpring 2012
For Molecular Electronics to become a viable replacement or complitment to current elec- tronic devices a fundamental understanding of device operation and functionality is needed. This work explores electron transport through diazonium derived molecular junctions via conductive atomic force...
