Contemporary Forest Harvesting Impacts on Drinking Water Quality and Treatability
(University of Waterloo, 2019-10-31)Forested watersheds supply ~75% of global accessible freshwater resources and serve as important sources of drinking water. Both natural and anthropogenic landscape disturbances in these regions can deteriorate water quality ... -
Dissolved organic carbon production and transport in a constructed watershed in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region, Alberta
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-23)Within the Western Boreal Plains, a significant amount of surface cover has been removed through open-pit oil sands mining activities, which includes fen peatlands. Fen construction has been performed on the post-oil sands ... -
Greenhouse gas emission factors associated with rewetting of organic soils
(International Peatland Society (IPS) and the International Mire Conservation Group (IMCG), 2016-04-08)Drained organic soils are a significant source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to the atmosphere. Rewetting these soils may reduce GHG emissions and could also create suitable conditions for return of the carbon (C) sink ... -
Salinity Effects on Dissolved Organic Carbon Concentration and Quality in a Constructed Fen Peatland, Fort McMurray, AB
(University of Waterloo, 2020-08-05)In northern Alberta, oil sands mining disturbs the landscape; reclamation to an “equivalent land capability” is required, and industry is testing peatland construction as part of landscape reclamation. To determine if these ...
