Assessing hydrometeorological controls on subalpine plant community evapotranspiration and evaluating the METRIC method using high-resolution UAV imagery in the Canadian Rocky Mountains
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-06)Subalpine wetlands in the Canadian Rocky Mountains function as buffers for snowmelt runoff towards downstream systems and communities. However, hydrological regimes are changing rapidly in these ecosystems due to climate ... -
Assessing the role of tree growth patterns on the spatial variability of evapotranspiration on a subalpine transition zone in Kananaskis, Alberta
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-28)Canada’s Rocky Mountains provide a large and essential supply of freshwater to downstream ecosystems and communities. Previous research has demonstrated that warmer temperatures, associated with climate change, are expected ... -
Characterizing controls on plot-scale evapotranspiration and soil water dynamics of a constructed fen in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region, Alberta
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-29)In the Athabasca oil sands region of the Western Boreal Plains (WBP) mining companies now recognize the importance of reclaiming peatlands, as they cover > 50% of the pre-mined regional landscape. Open-pit mining operations ... -
An Evaluation of the Impact of Seasonal Land Cover Change on Evapotranspiration Estimates at the Catchment Scale in the Upper Gundar River Basin, Tamil Nadu, India
(University of Waterloo, 2024-04-24)Changes in the water cycle influence the energy balance of the Earth. The water cycle is represented using the water balance equation, in which Evapotranspiration (ET) is a vital parameter. One of the main drivers of the ... -
Quantifying the role of shade on microclimate conditions and water use efficiency of a subalpine wetland in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, Kananaskis, Alberta
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-17)Alpine regions contribute 60 % of annual surface runoff, playing an important role in regulating the global water balance. Many of the world’s major river networks originate from alpine headwater basins, popularizing ... -
Understanding the Ecohydrological Role of Seasonal Ground Ice in a Boreal Peatland
(University of Waterloo, 2022-07-13)Seasonal Ground Ice (SGI) in peatlands forms in late fall when air temperatures begin to cool, and water in peat pores freeze. It differs from permafrost peatlands in that the SGI freezes and completely melts away every ...
