Seasonal patterns of mortality for boreal caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in an intact environment
DownloadSpring 2020
Seasonality is an important component in shaping the dynamics that influence ecosystems, including mortality. Animals experience temporal variation in vulnerability to mortality due to interactions among environmental conditions, nutritional condition, age and life stages, and changes in their...

SOIL BIOGEOCHEMICAL PROCESSES AND FINE ROOT DYNAMICS OF VEGETATION IN LFH MINERAL SOIL MIX AND PEAT MINERAL SOIL MIX ORGANIC CAPPING MATERIALS USED FOR OIL SANDS RECLAMATION
DownloadFall 2016
Peat mineral soil mix (PMM) and LFH, identifiable litter (L), fragmented litter (F) and humus (H), mineral soil (MS) mix are organic capping materials commonly used over overburden (OB) and tailings sand (TS) substrate materials in oil sands reclamation. These organic capping materials have...

Spring 2020
Permafrost peatlands in northern regions store a significant proportion of global soil carbon and have historically played an important role in global carbon cycling. Recent warming is accelerating permafrost thaw and causing thermokarst formation. Thermokarst formation in peatlands leads to a...

The role of microbial extracellular polymeric substances in psychrotolerance and geochemistry of subglacial environments
DownloadFall 2012
Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) were investigated to determine their potential role in microbial cryotolerance in the subglacial environment. The cell surface chemistry of Hymenobacter aerophilus cells, with and without EPS, was determined using potentiometric titrations and cadmium...

The Spatiotemporal Occurrence and Recovery of Shiga Toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) in Well-sourced Drinking Water from Southern Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2018
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are important enteric pathogens that cause significant morbidity and mortality worldwide, as well as in Canada. Drinking water is a key exposure pathway for STEC infection and the occurrence of these pathogens in drinking water sources represents an...
