Characterizing the immiscible transport properties of diesel and water in peat soil
Gharedaghloo, Behrad; Price, Jonathan S. (Elsevier, 2019-02-01)Extensive pipeline and railway corridors crossing Canadian peatlands make them vulnerable to hydrocarbon spills, potentially impairing ecosystem health, so it is important to be able to forecast hydrocarbon fate and transport ... -
Competitive transport processes of chloride, sodium, potassium, and ammonium in fen peat
McCarter, Colin; Weber, Tobias K. D.; Price, Jonathan S. (Elsevier, 2018-10-01)There is sparse information on reactive solute transport in peat; yet, with increasing development of peatland dominated landscapes, purposeful and accidental contaminant releases will occur, so it is important to assess ... -
Hydrologic function of a moderate-rich fen watershed in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region of the Western Boreal Plain, northern Alberta
Elmes, Matthew C.; Price, Jonathan S. (Elsevier, 2019-03)Peatlands are a dominant land feature in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region (AOSR) of the Western Boreal Plain (WBP), comprising >50% of the total land area, many of which are moderate-rich fens. The carbon stocks of moderate-rich ... -
The influence of peat volume change and vegetation on the hydrology of a kettle-hole wetland in Southern Ontario, Canada
Whittington, Pete; Strack, Maria; van Haarlem, R; Kaufman, S; Stoesser, P; Maltez, J; Price, Jonathan S.; Stone, Mike (International Mire Conservation Group and International Peat Society, 2007-12)Links between local hydrology and vegetation type exist in wetlands, yet it is unclear what role peat volume change plays in these interactions. We measured peat volume change and hydraulic conductivity (Kfield) at three ... -
Methane emissions from fens in Alberta’s boreal region: Reference data for functional evaluation of restoration outcomes
Bienida, Aneta; Date, Vinay; Andersen, Roxane; Nwaishi, Felix; Price, Jonathan S.; Mahmood, Md. Sharif; Strack, Maria (Springer, 2020-08)The aim of the study was to document methane (CH4) dynamics from fen ecosystems in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region (AOSR) in northern Alberta to create a reference database for evaluation of peatland restoration and ... -
Preferential recharge in a reclaimed tailings sand upland: Implications on solute flushing
Kessel, Eric D.; Sutton, Owen F.; Price, Jonathan S. (Elsevier, 2021-12)Study region: A peatland watershed was constructed on a post-mined oil sands lease in Northern Alberta, Canada, with the intention of replicating the function of natural wetlands removed by surface mining. Study focus: ... -
Structure of peat soils and implications for water storage, flow and solute transport: A review update for geochemists
Rezanezhad, Fereidoun; Price, Jonathan S.; Quinton, William L.; Lennartz, Bernd; Milojevic, Tatjana; Van Cappellen, Philippe (Elsevier, 2016-07-01)Global peatlands are a valuable but vulnerable resource. They represent a significant carbon and energy reservoir and play major roles in water and biogeochemical cycles. Peat soils are highly complex porous media with ... -
Transport of chloride and deuterated water in peat: The role of anion exclusion, diffusion, and anion adsorption in a dual porosity organic media
McCarter, Colin; Rezanezhad, Fereidoun; Gharedaghloo, Behrad; Price, Jonathan S.; Van Cappellen, P. (Elsevier, 2019-08)The dual-porosity structure of peat and the extremely high organic matter content give rise to a complex medium that typically generates prolonged tailing and early 50% concentration breakthrough in the breakthrough curves ...
