Diversity of Viral Communities in a Northern Temperate Lake through Metagenomics
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-05)Viruses in oceanic environments play pivotal roles in regulating nutrient transfer and increasing rates of carbon transport. They have also been implicated in the regulation of micro-organism community dynamics through ... -
Improving hydrological process representation in lake and forest dominated watersheds
(University of Waterloo, 2022-07-15)Hydrological models are simplified representations of the natural surface water dynamic system. This thesis focuses on improving these representations to make them more realistic and thus more appropriate tools to simulate ... -
Lake Zooplankton Carbon Sources: The Role Of Terrestrial Inputs And The Effects Of Depth And Taxonomic Composition
(University of Waterloo, 2008-11-28)The relative contribution of allochthonous and autochthonous production in zooplankton nutrition has been of interest since the net heterotrophy of lakes was recognised to be common. I measured the 13C signature of ... -
Quantifying the Groundwater Component within the Water Balance of a Large Lake in a Glaciated Watershed: Lake Pyhäjärvi, SW Finland
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-20)Accurate estimates of the amount of groundwater entering a lake on a yearly basis may provide valuable information for assessing contaminant loadings such as nutrient mass fluxes and the subsequent contribution of groundwater ...
