Modelling Legacy Nitrogen Dynamics in the Transboundary Lake Erie Watershed
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-26)Lake Erie is a source of drinking water, recreation, and commercial opportunity for both the United States and Canada, making the protection of its water quality essential. In the past decades, Lake Erie's ecosystems ... -
The Nitrogen Legacy: Understanding Time Lags in Catchment Response as a Function of Hydrologic and Biogeochemical Controls
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-23)Global population has seen a more than threefold increase over the last 100 years, accompanied by rapid changes in land use and a dramatic intensification of agriculture. Such changes have been driven by a great acceleration ... -
Quantifying the role of reservoirs in altering phosphorus dynamics using a combination of data analysis and process modeling
(University of Waterloo, 2022-04-29)Excess phosphorus (P) from agricultural watersheds promotes eutrophication in downstream aquatic systems. Reservoirs retain P generated from farm fields and protect downstream waters. Reservoirs also act as hotspots for P ... -
Spatio-Temporal Patterns in Net Anthropogenic Nitrogen and Phosphorus Inputs Across the Grand River Watershed
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-23)Over the last century, human activities have dramatically increased the inputs of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) to land, resulting in increased eutrophication of aquatic systems, and degradation of drinking water quality. ...
