Chemical characterization of construction materials and solute transport in peat from the Nikanotee Fen watershed at the Athabasca oil sands region, Alberta, Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2017-02-22)Overburden and tailings materials from oil sands production were used as construction materials as part of a novel attempt to create a self-sustaining, peat accumulating fen-upland ecosystem. To evaluate the potential for ... -
Sulfur biogeochemistry in a constructed fen peatland in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region, Alberta, Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2018-05-14)In peatlands, increased sulfate (SO42-) availability can stimulate dissimilatory SO42- reduction (DSR), allowing it to become a prominent anaerobic carbon (C) mineralization process. In turn, methane emissions may be ...
