Year: 2018, 2018
Member of: Trent University Graduate Thesis Collection
Name(s): Creator (cre): Liang, Tanner, Thesis advisor (ths): Aherne, Julian, Degree committee member (dgc): Gueguen, Celine, Degree committee member (dgc): Lafleur, Peter, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Threats such as climate change and increased anthropogenic activity such as shipping, are expected to negatively affect the Arctic. Lack of data on Arctic systems restricts our current understanding of these sensitive systems and limits our ability to predict future impacts. Lakes and ponds are a major feature of the Arctic landscape and are recognized as 'sentinels of change… more

A wind tunnel based investigation of three-dimensional grain scale saltation and boundary-layer stress partitioning using Particle Tracking Velocimetry

Name(s): Creator (cre): O'Brien, Patrick, Thesis advisor (ths): McKenna Neuman, Cheryl, Degree committee member (dgc): McConnell, Sabine, Degree committee member (dgc): Lafleur, Peter, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Aeolian transport of sand particles is an important geomorphic process that occurs over a significant portion of the earth's land surface. Wind tunnel simulations have been used for more than 75 years to advance the understanding of this process; however, there are still several principles that lack validation from direct sampling of the sand particles in flight. Neither the three-… more

The Influence of Canopy Water Partitioning on the Isotopic Signature of Plant Water in a Mixed Northern Forest

Name(s): Creator (cre): Snelgrove, Jenna, Thesis advisor (ths): Buttle, Jim, Degree committee member (dgc): Lafleur, Peter, Degree committee member (dgc): Watmough, Shaun, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>This study seeks to clarify the way in which the differing canopy characteristics among tree species influence the partitioning of precipitation, and therefore the source of water available for plant water uptake, in the Plastic Lake catchment near Dorset, ON. Three dominant tree species were compared: red oak (Quercus rubra), eastern white pine (Pinus strobus), and eastern hemlock (… more
