Groundwater surface water interactions in a wetland rich, low relief Boreal environment
Graduate This study investigates surface water and groundwater interactions in a wetland/peatland region surrounding Fort McMurray, Alberta. This work measured local meteorology, water table variation, and isotope and geochemistry concentrations over a two year period. Results from vertical water bu...
