My research examines pore-scale to watershed scale hydrological processes in wetlands, including water and solute flux dynamics. The research is applied and focuses on impacted systems caused by mining (e.g. De Beers Victor Diamond Mine impact on peatlands of the James Bay Lowland); oil sands extraction (e.g. constructing a fen peatland and watershed on the post-mined landscape); and peat harvesting (e.g. restoration of fens and bogs in eastern Canada). We use a combination of hydrometric, geochemical and remote sensing techniques.
