Staff Research Highlight - Comparative Valuation of Three Ecosystem Services in a Canadian Watershed Using Global, Regional, and Local Unit Values

Staff Research Highlight - Comparative Valuation of Three Ecosystem Services in a Canadian Watershed Using Global, Regional, and Local Unit Values

This new study, authored by Dr. Tariq Aziz, aims to compare ecosystem services values derived from three different sources: locally derived unit values specific to the Grand River Watershed, unit values from a regional database, and unit values compiled in the global Ecosystem Services Valuation Database (ESVD).

Staff Research Highlight - Accounting impacts of renewable energy expansions on ecosystem services to balance the trade-offs

This new study, authored by Dr. Tariq Aziz, investigates the complex and often competing relationship between two vital components of our world: renewable energy systems and ecosystem services. Renewable energy is becoming increasingly popular as the demand for energy rises and appeal for fossil energy sources, such as oil, gas, or coal, diminishes.

Aquanty Staff Research Highlight – Saturated hydraulic conductivity in northern peats inferred from other measurements

Morris et al. 2022 is a meta-analysis of 2507 peatland soil samples across Northern Canada and parts of Europe, which relates saturated hydraulic conductivity to depth and more commonly measured parameters like bulk density or the Van Post Humification Scale.
