Landscape and weather controls on fine-scale calcareous fen hydrodynamics
Calcareous fens are species-rich peatlands thought to form at discrete alkaline groundwater discharge points. Here the spatial and temporal variability in the peat pore-water hydrodynamics at a fine (plot) scale of three calcareous fens in southern Ontario was investigated over three growing seasons to evaluate the sensitivity of these wetlands to weather fluctuation and landscape position. ...

Actively aerated methanobiofilters to control methane emissions from landfills
Methane (CH4) capture at sanitary landfills for energy recovery is capable of reducing the impact of CH4 on the global atmospheric carbon budget. However, gas capture may only be viable where gas quantities are high enough to warrant economical energy production. Considering the potential global warming impacts, there is a need to identify alternative methods to control landfill CH4 emissions to ...

Determination of diurnal water level fluctuations in headwaters
The aim of this paper is to study diurnal fluctuations of the water level in streams draining headwaters and to identify the controlling factors. The fieldwork was carried out in the Gryżynka River catchment, western Poland. The water levels of three streams draining into the headwaters via a group of springs were monitored in the years 2011–2014. Changes in the water pressure and water ...

High sensitivity CO2 monitor for CO2 geological sequestration efficiency monitoring
Canadian prosperity is currently linked to revenue generated from processes that produce large volumes of greenhouse gasses as a by-product. Under evidence that the human fingerprint on our planet is in direct correlation to global climate change, the monitoring and control of greenhouse gas emissions has become a subject of recent focus among many sciences. Recently, legislation has been imposed ...

Climate Trends and Challenges of the Energy-Water Nexus
Most power generation facilities rely on a significant quantity of water, primarily for cooling. The most recent USGS water use survey (2005) reports that thermoelectric power accounts for approximately 41% of total freshwater withdrawals in the United States—more than any other water-use sector. Although most water use for this sector is not highly consumptive (less than 5% of national ...
