The carbon and nitrogen composition of suspended particulate matter in Lake Erie, selected tributaries, and its outflow
(University of Waterloo, 2005)Since their introduction to Lake Erie, dreissenid mussels may have reengineered the cycling of nutrients in the lake so that the nearshore benthic community intercepts, retains, and recycles greater quantities of nutrients. ... -
Geochemical Evolution of Fracture Filling Minerals from the Chalk River Laboratory Site, Ontario, Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2016-02-18)The isotope geochemistry combined with fluid inclusion studies of several generations of fracture minerals from the Chalk River Laboratory site (CRL) has been applied to investigate the past fluid evolution including ... -
An investigation into marine environments in the eastern Canadian Arctic
(University of Waterloo, 2023-10-20)Arctic marine environments are especially vulnerable to climate change, but detailed scientific data for these ecosystems are lacking due to their remote location and the associated logistical challenges of conducting ... -
Nitrous Oxide Production in the Grand River, Ontario, Canada: New Insights from Stable Isotope Analysis of Dissolved Nitrous Oxide
(University of Waterloo, 2008-10-07)Nitrous oxide (N₂O) is a powerful greenhouse gas, and its atmospheric concentration is increasing dramatically. N₂O is produced through the microbially-mediated processes of nitrification and denitrification. Since these ... -
Stable isotope analyses (δ15N, δ13C) as a tool to define exposure of white sucker (Catostomus commersonii) to pulp mill effluent in Jackfish Bay, Lake Superior
(University of Waterloo, 2016-02-17)Effects of effluent from the pulp mill in Terrace Bay, Ontario, on fish have been extensively studied since the late 1980s. Fish collected at this site over the past several decades have shown a variety of physiological ... -
Trophic disruption effects on the diet and condition of Lake Whitefish
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-18)Recently, the growth and condition of Lake Whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis), an important commercial fishery commodity, has declined in some areas of the Great Lakes. As Lake Whitefish are benthic feeders, historically ...
