Stable isotope mass balance of the North American Laurentian Great Lakes
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-29)This thesis describes a method for calculating lake evaporation as a proportion of water inputs (E/I) for large surface water bodies, using stable isotope ratios of oxygen (18O/16O) and hydrogen (2H/1H) in water. Evaporation ... -
Stable Isotopes of Sulphur and Oxygen in Forested Catchments: Insight from New Techniques into Sulphur Cycling and Dissolved Organic Matter Alteration
(University of Waterloo, 2003)Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is present in all forested catchments and can be important in binding metals, absorbing UV, and the transport of nutrients (C, N, S, P). DOM is extremely heterogeneous in time and space, ...
