Name(s): Creator (cre): Buell, Mary Claire Claire, Thesis advisor (ths): Metcalfe, Chris, Degree committee member (dgc): Furgal, Chris, Degree committee member (dgc): Gueguen, Celine, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Owen Sound Bay, which is located within the traditional territory of the Saugeen Ojibway Nation (SON), is contaminated as a result of historical industrial and shipping activity. Gross contamination of the sediments in the inner part of the Bay (i.e., Owen Sound Harbour) includes high concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and other organic compounds, as well as metals… more

Assessing Measured and Perceived Risks to Drinking Water Sources: Comparative Case Studies in Small, Rural Communities

Name(s): Creator (cre): Serville-Tertullien, Marsha Dawn Helena, Thesis advisor (ths): Metcalfe, Chris, Degree committee member (dgc): Furgal, Chris, Degree committee member (dgc): Whillans, Tom, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Microcontaminants originating from wastewater effluent and run-off from agricultural lands may be present in the sources of drinking water for rural and Indigenous communities in mixed-use watersheds. In this study, a convergent parallel mixed-methods design was applied to assess measured and perceived risks of contamination in the sources of drinking water for two communities; the Six… more

Name(s): Creator (cre): Gelinas, Veronique, Thesis advisor (ths): Furgal, Chris, Degree committee member (dgc): Hammill, Mike, Degree committee member (dgc): Hickie, Brendan, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>This thesis explored the contribution of mixed methods approaches to marine mammal science through the use of concurrent and sequential designs to study distribution and feeding ecology of bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus) in the Arctic region of Nunavik, Quebec, Canada. The study combines Inuit knowledge (IK), collected through semi-directed interviews with Inuit harvesters, and… more
