Assessing hydrological processes controlling the water balance of lakes in the Peace-Athabasca Delta, Alberta, Canada using water isotope tracers
(University of Waterloo, 2007-05-22)One of the world’s largest freshwater deltas (~4000 km2), the Peace-Athabasca Delta (PAD), is located at the convergence of the Peace and Athabasca rivers and Lake Athabasca in northern Alberta, Canada. Since the early ... -
Developing and refining the use of water isotope tracer in hydrology and paleohydrology
(University of Waterloo, 2008-08-27)This thesis investigates stable isotope signals (i.e. δ18O and δ2H) in various information carriers such as lake water and lacustrine sediments, aiming to develop and refine the use of isotope tracers in hydrology and ... -
Evaluating Vadose Zone Moisture Dynamics using Ground-Penetrating Radar
(University of Waterloo, 2012-02-27)Near-surface sediments in the vadose zone play a fundamental role in the hydrologic system. The shallow vadose zone can act as a buffer to delay or attenuate surface contaminants before they reach the water table. It also ... -
