Nitrogen dynamics and nitrogen-to-phosphorus stoichiometry in cold region agricultural streams
(Wiley Periodicals LLC on behalf of American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America, 2021-05-12)Cold agricultural regions are getting warmer and experiencing shifts in precipitation patterns, which affect hydrological transport of nutrients through reduced snowpack and higher annual proportions of summer rainfall. ... -
Differences in ebullitive methane release from small, shallow ponds present challenges for scaling
(Elsevier B.V., 2022)Small, shallow waterbodies are potentially important sites of greenhouse gas release to the atmosphere. The role of ebullition may be enhanced here relative to larger and deeper systems, due to their shallow water, but ... -
When Jewish settlers farmed in Manitoba
(Royal Canadian Geographical Society, 1977)Traces the history of Bender Hamlet, a planned agricultural village located in the Interlake (the area between lakes Winnipeg and Manitoba), about 80 km from Winnipeg. The settlement was organized by a land speculator, ... -
More than Talking Heads?!? How do administrative tribunals hear from the public? A report prepared for the Consumers’ Association of Canada – Manitoba Branch
(2021-04-30)Consumers and the general public want a say in the decisions which affect them. However, access to meaningful engagement in regulatory decisions is uneven across jurisdictions, as well as across types of tribunals. Scholarship ... -
A new staples industry? Complexity, governance and Canada's diamond mines
(Oxford University Press, 2007)The discovery of indicator minerals in the Slave geological province began a staking and development rush that, in a little over a decade, saw Canada becoming one of the world’s largest producers of diamonds. An examination ... -
Advancing local energy transitions: A global review of government instruments supporting community energy
(Elsevier, 2021-10-28)The adoption and encouragement of community energy, that is, the incentive to develop renewable energy projects with community participation and ownership, is a key ingredient of energy transition. Government policies and ... -
Empowering Churchill: Exploring energy security in northern Manitoba
(Arctic Institute of North America, 2022-06-11)To those living in Churchill, Manitoba, having power means much more than being able to turn on the lights. Using Churchill as a case study, we examine how local context can improve the suitability of energy security ... -
Access to Environmental Justice: A Manitoba Toolkit for Improving Public Participation; Final Project Report, February 2021
(Manitoba Eco-network, The University of Winnipeg, and Public Interest Law Centre, 2021-02)This final report details the implementation of the Manitoba Law Foundation funded project: Access to Environmental Justice: A Manitoba Toolkit for Improving Public Participation. The project materialized as a 6-part public ... -
Linking dominant rainfall-runoff event hydrologic response dynamics with nitrate and chloride load estimates of three boreal Shield catchments
(American Geophysical Union, 2021-08-21)Understanding hydrological dynamics in boreal Shield catchments is critical for projecting changes in stream runoff and chemistry in a region that is sensitive to climate change. Previous work has mostly focused on a limited ... -
Hydrological and catchment controls on event-scale dissolved organic carbon dynamics in boreal headwater streams
(Wiley, 2021-06-23)Hydrological events transport large proportions of annual or seasonal dissolved organic carbon (DOC) loads from catchments to streams. The timing, magnitude and intensity of these events are very sensitive to changes in ... -
Reenvisioning an Energy Strategy for Manitoba: Planning for 2030 and Beyond
(University of Winnipeg, 2020)On March 10, 2020 the Re-envisioning an Energy Strategy for Manitoba: Planning for 2030 and Beyond workshop was held at The University of Winnipeg. The purpose of the event was to initiate a discussion amongst Manitobans ... -
Building the System: Follow-up, monitoring & adaptive management
(University of Winnipeg, 2020-04-08)Does impact assessment (IA) end when the license has been granted? While societal resources tend to focus on rigorous project approvals, what happens to the project, to the public and to the environment once approval is ... -
Automated LULC Map Production using Deep Neural Networks
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-01-17)This article presents an approach to automating the creation of land-use/land-cover classification (LULC) maps from satellite images using deep neural networks that were developed to perform semantic segmentation of natural ... -
A Deep Learning Framework: Land-Use/Land-Cover Mapping and Analysis using Multispectral Satellite Imagery
(Springer, 2019-07-17)In this article, we present an approach to land-use and land-cover (LULC) mapping from multispectral satellite images using deep learning methods. The terms satellite image classification and map production, although used ... -
Intra-urban analysis of commercial locations: A GIS-based approach
(2013)The urban landscape is an interspersed mixing of residences, shops, theatres, parks, natural areas, and a multitude of other uses. From the early days of the central markets, to the planned downtown, to the heavily planned ... -
Hydrological and seasonal controls of phosphorus in Northern Great Plains agricultural streams
(Alliance of Crop, Soil., and Environmental Science Societies, 2019)Controls on nutrient transport in cold, low relief agricultural regions vary dramatically among seasons. The spring snowmelt is often the dominant runoff and nutrient loading event of the year. However, climate change may ... -
Isotopic reconstruction of the weaning process in the archaeological population of Canímar Abajo, Cuba: A Bayesian probabilities mixing models approach
(Public Library of Science, 2017-05-01)The general lack of well-preserved juvenile skeletal remains from Caribbean archaeological sites has, in the past, prevented evaluations of juvenile dietary changes. Canímar Abajo (Cuba), with a large number of well-preserved ... -
The role of wetland coverage within the near-stream zone in predicting of seasonal stream export chemistry from forested headwater catchments
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019-02-19)Stream chemistry is often used to infer catchment‐scale biogeochemical processes. However, biogeochemical cycling in the near‐stream zone or hydrologically‐connected areas may exert a stronger influence on stream chemistry ... -
Summer storms trigger soil N₂O efflux episodes in forested catchments
(American Geophysical Union, 2016-01-14)Climate change and climate-driven feedbacks on catchment hydrology and biogeochemistry have the potential to alter the aquatic versus atmospheric fate of nitrogen (N) in forests. This study investigated the hypothesis that ...
