Name(s): Creator (cre): DeFrancesco, Cassandra, Thesis advisor (ths): Gueguen, Celine, Degree committee member (dgc): Franklin, Steven, Degree committee member (dgc): Hickie, Brendan, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>This thesis investigated coloured and fluorescent dissolved organic matter in the Canada Basin, Arctic Ocean from 2007 to 2017. The first interannual time-series of its kind in the Canada Basin incorporated the use of EEM-PARAFAC to validate a seven-component model. Statistical temporal tests revealed (1) an increasing protein-like intensity in the upper polar mixed layer (UPML); (2)… more

The Effects of Geographic Factors on the Wild Harvest of Large Mammals across North America

Name(s): Creator (cre): Millward, Brian, Thesis advisor (ths): Schaefer, James, Degree committee member (dgc): Mahoney, Shane, Degree committee member (dgc): Franklin, Steven, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>While the harvest of mammals is monitored in each jurisdiction across Canada and the USA, there has been no analysis of this wild harvest at a continental scale across North America. The recreational wild harvest of large mammals varies geographically across North America, and I hypothesized that this variation is influenced by both anthropogenic and other environmental factors on the… more

Assessing Connectivity of Protected Area Networks and the Role of Private Lands in the United States

Name(s): Creator (cre): Bargelt, Lindsey, Thesis advisor (ths): Murray, Dennis, Thesis advisor (ths): Fortin, Marie-Josee, Degree committee member (dgc): Franklin, Steven, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Forestalling biodiversity loss through the establishment of protected areas is a universally accepted conservation strategy, yet despite established guidelines for protected area coverage and placement, much of the world is currently failing to meet its commitments to conservation planning and landscape protection. Calls for the United States to protect more land usually focus on the… more

ADAPT: An Automated Decision Support Tool For Adaptation To Climate Change-Driven Floods Predicted From A Multiscale And Multi-Model Framework

Year: 2014, 2014
Member of: Trent University Graduate Thesis Collection
Name(s): Creator (cre): Patel, Reesha, Thesis advisor (ths): Ponce-Hernandez, Raul, Degree committee member (dgc): Eimers, Catherine, Degree committee member (dgc): Franklin, Steven, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>This thesis focuses on the design of a modelling framework consisting of loose-coupling of a sequence of spatial and process models and procedures necessary to predict future flood events for the years 2030 and 2050 in Tabasco Mexico. Temperature and precipitation data from the Hadley Centers Coupled Model (HadCM3), for those future years were downscaled using the Statistical Downscaling… more
