Competitive transport processes of chloride, sodium, potassium, and ammonium in fen peat
McCarter, Colin; Weber, Tobias K. D.; Price, Jonathan S. (Elsevier, 2018-10-01)There is sparse information on reactive solute transport in peat; yet, with increasing development of peatland dominated landscapes, purposeful and accidental contaminant releases will occur, so it is important to assess ... -
The Hydrochemical Fate and Transport of Treated Domestic Wastewater Contaminants During a Wastewater Polishing Experiment in a Sub-Arctic Ladder Fen Peatland
McCarter, Colin (University of Waterloo, 2016-09-27)Protecting northern aquatic ecosystems is critical to ensuring the sustained use of these environments; however, with increasing industrial and residential development pressures in this region the safe and effective treatment ... -
The hydrology of the Bois-des-Bel bog peatland restoration: A tale of two scales
McCarter, Colin (University of Waterloo, 2012-09-21)Vacuum harvested peatlands typically do not spontaneously regenerate peatland species and more importantly the peat-forming Sphagnum mosses. Thus harvested and abandoned peatlands require restoration to return the peat-forming ... -
Transport of chloride and deuterated water in peat: The role of anion exclusion, diffusion, and anion adsorption in a dual porosity organic media
McCarter, Colin; Rezanezhad, Fereidoun; Gharedaghloo, Behrad; Price, Jonathan S.; Van Cappellen, P. (Elsevier, 2019-08)The dual-porosity structure of peat and the extremely high organic matter content give rise to a complex medium that typically generates prolonged tailing and early 50% concentration breakthrough in the breakthrough curves ...
