Operationalizing the spatial influence of the risk factors behind the open-air drug markets in Durham region
(2015-08-01)
The social cost of illegal drugs has reached a very high point both in Canada and around the world. The efforts to control the global flow of illegal drugs have not achieved to compensate these costs. This thesis examines ...
An investigation of land-use impacts on water quality and phytoplankton communities of the Vermilion River and major tributaries, Sudbury, Ontario, Canada
(2015-12-01)
The Vermilion River and major tributaries (VRMT) receive numerous inputs from point and non-point sources along their continuum. In addition to these inputs from the surrounding landscape, a hydroelectric impoundment and ...
