GREAT RIVER WOOD DYNAMICS IN NORTHERN CANADA

This is my dissertation work.  It is centered around the theme of driftwood dynamics in big rivers, with field case studies on the Slave River and the Great Slave Lake in the Northwest Territories and northern Alberta.

​

This work provides insight into pulsed wood flux, shoreline dynamics and landforms in terrestrial water bodies before widespread historical deforestation, damming of rivers, and wood removal along major waterways.  My descriptions of wood transport and shoreline processes are a resource to groups who seek to identify environmental impacts of dams and to scientists who are investigating the impact that past and future development of river corridors has had or will haveon ecosystems through depletion of wood exports.
