NAPL Recovery Using CO<sub>2</sub>-Supersaturated Water Injection: Distribution of the CO<sub>2</sub> Gas Phase
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Gas inFusion? is a novel remedial technology that dissolves CO<sub>2</sub> into water under pressure for NAPL recovery. As the supersaturated liquid flows through the porous medium gas evolution occurs in situ as the ... -
Native Wetland Plant Recovery Following Phragmites australis Invasion
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-20)Invasive common reed (Phragmites australis ssp. australis) has negatively affected 25% of all Species at Risk in Ontario since its arrival in the twentieth century. This is of particular concern at Long Point and Rondeau, ... -
Natural Gradient Tracer Tests to Investigate the Fate and Migration of Oil Sands Process-Affected Water in the Wood Creek Sand Channel
(University of Waterloo, 2009-10-02)The In Situ Aquifer Test Facility (ISATF) has been established on Suncor Energy Inc’s (Suncor) oil sands mining lease north of Fort McMurray, Alberta to investigate the fate and transport of oil sands process-affected (PA) ... -
Natural Late Holocene lake level fluctuations recorded in the Ipperwash strandplain, southern Lake Huron
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-25)The Laurentian Great Lakes (LGL) are the largest system of surface freshwater on Earth. Three factors, glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA), outlet conveyance, and climate processes contribute to natural rises and falls in ... -
Natural source zone depletion of petroleum hydrocarbons under variable temperature and moisture conditions
(University of Waterloo, 2023-02-15)In subsurface environments contaminated by petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs), the steep geochemical and redox gradients near the water table, the oxygen availability, moisture content, salinity, pH, nutrient concentrations and ... -
The Nature and Impact of Active Galactic Nuclei
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-12)The gravitational interaction around the event horizon of black holes presents theoretical challenges. With the advent of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), we are now entering an era in physics where we can probe the ... -
Nature-inspired robust hydrochromic film for dual anticounterfeiting
(Elsevier, 2021-06)Nature-inspired materials have been actively developed for anticounterfeiting applications. Among a variety of stimuli-responsive anticounterfeiting strategies, hydrochromic materials exhibit reversible color change in ... -
Near addition lenses as a tool to investigate vergence adaptation in myopic children
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-12)Accommodation and vergence are two interacting ocular motor systems that function to maintain clear and single vision across a wide range of distances. Sustained fixation results in the adaptation of these ocular motor ... -
