Characterizing the hydraulic and transport properties of a constructed coarse tailings sand aquifer Open
Millions of tonnes of coarse tailings sand are produced every year as a byproduct of the bitumen extraction process in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region. These tailings materials contain residual quantities of mobile solutes, which can be tra…

<p>Increasing hydrocarbon resource developments in and around peatlands impose risks of petroleum hydrocarbon spills on these important wetland landscapes. Despite the potential severity of consequences, there is a big gap of knowled…

Pore-scale controls on hydrological and geochemical processes in peat: Implications on interacting processes Open
Peatlands are wetlands that provide important ecosystem services including carbon sequestration and water storage that respond to hydrological, biological, and biogeochemical processes. These processes are strongly influenced by the comple…

Characterizing the transport of hydrocarbon contaminants in peat soils and peatlands Open
Widespread transportation corridors crossing Canadian peatlands make these landscapes vulnerable to hydrocarbon spills. After a spill happens, free hydrocarbon spreads in the peat layer forming a free-phase plume. Water soluble compounds o…

Fate and transport of free-phase and dissolved-phase hydrocarbons in peat and peatlands: developing a conceptual model Open
Physical and chemical, and pore-scale to field-scale properties of peat soil affect the migration of non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) and dissolved-phase solutes in contaminated peatlands in a way not anticipated based on the current unde…
