Trees on the move: how local adaptations can fortify our forests

Janes-Bourque, Pierrette

Climate projections for the island of Newfoundland indicate that the region can expect increased precipitation and warmer temperatures over the next 50 years. Adapting to these changes will require tree ranges to shift at a rate far exceeding natural dispersal. We investigated climate adaptive planting options for Newf...

Seeing the trees for the forest: black ash demographic niches and herbivory on the island of Newfoundland

Frost-Wicks, Amy

Black ash (Fraxinus nigra Marsh.) is one of the island of Newfoundland’s rarest native tree species. Though provincially Threatened, little is known about the species’ distribution, abundance, or ecology. Our study aims to characterize the ecological niche in which Newfoundland black ash occur, along with examining the...

Investigating nonlinear wave interactions in sandstone using laser doppler vibrometry

March, Jillian

This project investigates nonlinear wave interactions in solid materials, particularly sand- stone, using laser-based measurement techniques. Motivated by geophysical studies of sub- surface monitoring and CO2 sequestration, this work focuses on how elastic waves behave when introduced to heterogeneities such as cracks...

Impacts of interacting stressors on the cardiorespiratory physiology and environmental tolerances of fishes

Durnford, Fiona

Understanding the physiological mechanisms that determine the tolerance of fishes to environmental stressors is crucial for predicting climate change impacts. Warming and hypoxia co-occur in several natural systems, yet the cardiorespiratory constraints governing tolerance to interacting stressors remain poorly underst...

Opinions of Canadian healthcare providers on the adequacy of the concussion return to sport guidelines for artistic athletes

Hiscock, Ashley

The purpose of this study was to gather opinions from Canadian sport-credentialed healthcare providers (HCPs) regarding the current concussion return to sport (RTS) and its adequacy for artistic athletes. Given the focus of current RTS on contact sports, we hypothesize that HCPs will report that the current RTS guideli...

Atomic scale modeling and validation of ice bulk and surface properties in extreme environments

Pashuk, Vikentiy

Ice plays a critical role in phenomena ranging from terrestrial climate dynamics to planetary formation and surface evolution. While extensively studied under Earth-like conditions, ice at the low temperatures (< 70 K) and extreme vacuum characteristic of space environments remains poorly characterized experimentally d...

Geology of the striding Mylonite Zone, Northwest Territories

Hamel, Kiera

The Snowbird Tectonic Zone (STZ) comprises numerous parallel ductile shear zones that trend northeast from Alberta to Hudson Bay and approximately divide the Rae and Hearne geological Provinces. The STZ underwent high-pressure metamorphism and deformation at ca. 2.6 and ca. 1.9 Ga and may represent the site of incipien...

Yeast coast brews: exploring the use of marine isolated yeasts from coastal Newfoundland for beer fermentation

Drodge, Matthew Taylor Ronald

Beer has been around for thousands of years. Its invention is suspected to have been a driving force behind the Neolithic Revolution, around 7000 BCE. Traditionally, beer is made using four main ingredients: malt, hops, water, and yeast. Two types of yeast are used for brewing most beers, Saccharomyces cerevisiae (ale...

From early indicators to identification: understanding how kindergarten readiness, socioeconomic status, and gender shape learning disability identification in Ontario

Marsh, Jennifer

This thesis investigates how early developmental indicators predict the likelihood and timing of learning disability (LD) identification in Ontario schools. Using data from over 70,000 children assessed between 2004 and 2008 with the Early Development Instrument (EDI) in kindergarten, this study examines the predictive...

Mechanical and ecophysiological traits of subarctic Boreolithothamnion glaciale rhodoliths

Hicks, Aidan

Rhodolith beds are globally distributed, highly biodiverse communities that form primarily in areas of low water motion, where free-living, coralline red algae (rhodoliths) can accumulate, and sediments fall out of suspension. Key species supported by rhodolith’s spatial complexity contribute to important ecosystem fun...
