Assessing The Erodibility of Cohesive Media in Southwestern Ontario With In-Situ Mini-JET Methodology
(University of Waterloo, 2023-09-25)Despite research indicating that the resistance of cohesive sediments to fluvial erosion is related to the geologic media, regulators and industry in Southern Ontario do not typically consider the diversity in geologic ... -
The effects of vegetation on the estimation of low flows: a high-resolution study in natural streams featuring novel techniques
(University of Waterloo, 2018-07-12)Accurate measurement of stream discharge under low-flow conditions is of utmost importance to many water resources practitioners. In most of the world, discharge is estimated at gauging stations using rating curves. These ... -
High Resolution Investigation of Thermal Spatial Variability of Two Cobble Bed Rivers, and the Correlation to Salmonid Spawning Preferences
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-22)This thesis introduces and demonstrates the application of a recently designed mobile streambed temperature measurement system. The apparatus, called the High Resolution Temperature Mapping Device (henceforth HI-RES TMD) ... -
How Large Immobile Particles Impact Sediment Transport and Bed Morphology in Gravel Bed Rivers
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-29)Large particles can be deposited in natural stream channels as a result of failed erosion protection measures or geological deposits. The impacts these large particles have on the natural systems have been studied, however ... -
Impacts of Hydromodification and Sediment Supply Alterations on Bedload Transport and Bed Morphology in Urbanizing Gravel-bed Rivers
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-18)Urbanization is known to change the hydrologic and sediment supply regimes of rivers, causing more frequent, flashier flood events (hydromodification) and a reduction and redistribution of sediment sources. Presently, the ... -
Thresholds and Sediment Transport Dynamics in an Interbedded Shale and Limestone Controlled Urban Watercourse
(University of Waterloo, 2017-02-13)Sediment transport is a fundamental component of research into river morphology and related engineering practices. The relationship between flow and sediment particle entrainment underpins many of the empirical models used ...
