Assessing Impacts of Historical Pulp Mill Effluent on Coastal Food Web Structure and Identifying Suitable Bioindicators for Wastewater: a Stable Isotope (δ13C and δ15N) Analysis
(2022-07-26)Boat Harbour, Nova Scotia was a tidal estuary that was converted into a wastewater treatment facility for pulp mill effluent in 1967. Treated effluent from Boat Harbour was discharged through a dam into the coastal ... -
Investigating Microbial Nitrogen Cycling in the Northwest Arm, Halifax Harbour and in Wastewater Treatment Facilities Using Natural Abundance Stable Isotopes in Nitrate, Nitrite, and Ammonium.
(2023-12-06)Using a 3-year time series of concentrations of nitrate, nitrite and ammonium and natural abundance stable isotopes in nitrate, this project identifies seasonal trends and major sources of fixed nitrogen to the Northwest ... -
N and O isotope ratios of NO3- as a tracer for nitrogen cycling and water mass distribution
(2021-01-07)Nitrogen plays a central role in marine biogeochemistry. Its distribution, chemical speciation and ratio relative to other nutrients governs the presence and abundance of microbial communities, and of large scale ocean ... -
