An approach to improve direct runoff estimates and reduce uncertainty in the calculated groundwater component in water balances of large lakes
(Journal of Hydrology, 2015-10-30)Groundwater is important in the overall water budget of a lake because it affects the quantity and quality of surface water and the ecological health of the lake. The water balance equation is frequently used to estimate ... -
Diversity of Viral Communities in a Northern Temperate Lake through Metagenomics
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-05)Viruses in oceanic environments play pivotal roles in regulating nutrient transfer and increasing rates of carbon transport. They have also been implicated in the regulation of micro-organism community dynamics through ... -
Lake Zooplankton Carbon Sources: The Role Of Terrestrial Inputs And The Effects Of Depth And Taxonomic Composition
(University of Waterloo, 2008-11-28)The relative contribution of allochthonous and autochthonous production in zooplankton nutrition has been of interest since the net heterotrophy of lakes was recognised to be common. I measured the 13C signature of ... -
Quantifying the Groundwater Component within the Water Balance of a Large Lake in a Glaciated Watershed: Lake Pyhäjärvi, SW Finland
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-20)Accurate estimates of the amount of groundwater entering a lake on a yearly basis may provide valuable information for assessing contaminant loadings such as nutrient mass fluxes and the subsequent contribution of groundwater ...
