Coupling reactive transport and travel time modeling at the watershed scale
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-25)Nonpoint source pollution poses the greatest threat to water quality in developed countries. Modeling this type of pollution is a challenge for reactive transport models because of the change in scale: moving from a local ... -
The effects of soil heterogeneity on the performance of horizontal ground loop heat exchangers
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-25)Horizontal ground loop heat exchangers (GLHE) are widely used in many countries around the world as a heat source/sink for building conditioning systems. In Canada, these systems are most common in residential buildings ... -
A mechanistic approach to assessment of the geochemical evolution of low sulfide mine-waste rock
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-04)The potential for mine wastes to generate elevated concentrations of solutes including metals, sulfate, and reduced pH exists wherever mine-waste rock is stockpiled at the Earth’s surface representing one of the world’s ... -
Superfast Inference for Stationary Gaussian Processes in Particle Tracking Microrheology
(University of Waterloo, 2019-12-18)Particle tracking of passive microscopic species has become the experimental measurement of choice in diverse applications, where either the material volumes are limited, or the materials themselves are so soft that they ...
