A recent talk at the University of Alberta Sustainability Council lecture series (@GreenUofA) where I presented models for estimating and forecasting GHG emissions from tailing ponds and end pit lakes. In particular, focusing on new mechanistic models that takes into account the dynamics of the microbes that biodegrade the organic carbons in OSTP and EPL. […]
