Quantification of Water Content Across a Cement-clay Interface Using High Resolution Neutron Radiography
Abstract In many designs for radioactive waste repositories, cement and clay will come into direct contact. The geochemical contrast between cement and clay will lead to mass fluxes across the interface, which consequently results in alteration of...

Lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) spawning habitat in a northern lake: The role of wind and physical characteristics on habitat quality
Abstract Lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) have a broad distribution across Canada's North, yet most studies that describe reproductive habitat are from the southern extent of their range. We assessed whether lake trout spawning habitat, typically...
