Assessing Spatial and Temporal Variation in Source Water Quality and Drinking Water Treatability Across a Gradient of Forest Harvest on Vancouver Island, BC
DownloadFall 2021
On Canada’s Pacific Coast, forestry is integral to society. Although economically important, harvesting practices may alter source waters that originate in forested watersheds through changes in suspended solids (SS) and dissolved organic matter (DOM). Each of these metrics has the potential to...

Biogeochemical assessments of rapidly changing glacial rivers on the eastern slopes of the Canadian Rocky Mountains
DownloadFall 2024
Climate change is driving the loss of alpine glaciers globally, yet investigations about the water quality of rivers stemming from them are few. In Chapter 2, we provide an overview of a biogeochemical dataset containing 200+ parameters that we collected between 2019-2021 from 14 sampling sites...

Rapid thaw-driven geomorphic change transforms fluvial, sedimentary, and biogeochemical environments in the Willow River, NT
DownloadSpring 2023
The effects of global climate change are acute in permafrost environments. In the western Canadian Arctic, permafrost degradation of ice-rich slopes is resulting in the development of thermokarst and other forms of mass wasting, which transports previously frozen materials into aquatic systems....

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...
