Biofilm-Enhanced Treatment for Arctic Wastewater Stabilization Ponds Using Geotextile Substrate
(2013-08-20)
In this thesis, a semi-permeable lining system was proposed to upgrade arctic wastewater stabilization ponds, acting as a biofilter. Although commonplace at lower latitudes, the effects of cold temperatures and short-duration ...
CLOUD AND AEROSOL PROPERTIES MEASURED WITH A LIDAR IN THE HIGH ARCTIC AT EUREKA
(2010-12-13)
The recently commissioned CANDAC Rayleigh?Mie?Raman Lidar (CRL) in Eureka, Nunavut, finished its first winter measurement campaign in 2010, during which over 900 hours of data was collected. A comparison of several inversion ...
RECONSTRUCTION OF HIGH ARCTIC WINTER SURFACE ENERGY FLUXES
(2011-09-06)
Throughout the late 20th and early 21st century, the global temperature has been on the rise, a process that has been accelerated in the Arctic. The Arctic surface temperatures have risen at a factor of 3 greater rate than ...
A Qualitative Case Study Of Relationships Between Public Health And Municipal Drinking Water and Wastewater In Coral Harbour, Nunavut
(2013-08-21)
Wide health gaps exist between Canada’s Inuit population and their non-Indigenous counterparts in nearly all categories. Two basic public health protection principles in any community worldwide are access to safe drinking ...
Non-Parametric Statistical Tests for Differences in Fatty Acid Composition of Greenland Sharks
(2013-12-13)
Variations in predator diets is important in ecology to help us understand their top-down effects on the ecosystem. In predator diets, their fatty acid signatures reflect the proportions of prey consumed. Since fatty acid ...
Interpretation of Arctic Black Carbon Measurements with a Chemical Transport Model
(2015-01-15)
Black carbon is a pollutant of concern in the Arctic; however models struggle to accurately simulate its seasonal cycle observed from in-situ measurements. This work
aims to examine the contribution of different types of ...
Winter House for an Inuvialuit Family: Dwelling, Collective Memory, and the Qallunaat Designer in the Western Arctic
(2019-08-27)
Contemporary housing in the western Arctic is frequently based on Euro-Canadian (qallunaat) concepts of the home, which are ill-suited to Inuvialuit (Inuit) ways of life. Additionally, the forced settlement of Inuit peoples ...
MODELLING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LIQUID WATER CONTENT AND CLOUD DROPLET NUMBER CONCENTRATION OBSERVED IN SOME LOW CLOUDS IN THE SUMMER ARCTIC AND ITS RADIATIVE EFFECTS
(2019-11-28)
We investigated the microphysical properties of some low Arctic clouds and attempted to simulate the observed linear relationship between liquid water content and cloud droplet number concentration. The low clouds were ...
Dynamic Architecture in the Canadian Arctic
(2019-04-05)
This thesis investigates changing conditions in the Canadian Arctic. Reduced yearly sea ice extent due to anthropogenic global climate change has spurred a significant increase in marine traffic within the Canadian Arctic ...
UV LED TECHNOLOGY FOR DRINKING WATER POU APPLICATIONS AND BIOFILM DISINFECTION
(2021-03-11)
UV LEDs are a promising technology for the water sector because of their small size and low energy consumption, which makes them ideal for POU applications. UV LED POU device testing is required to verify their effectiveness ...
