Isotopic Fingerprinting of Shallow and Deep Groundwaters in Southwestern Ontario and its Applications to Abandoned Well Remediation
… are distinct in different bedrock formations. A Bayesian mixing model was applied to these data to develop a tool for identifying the source(s) of leaking fluids. The geochemical data also improve our understanding of groundwater origin and evolution. Shallow (~<350m) aquifers are recharged by …

Movement and trophic ecology of large pelagic fishes connecting surface waters with the Ocean’s Twilight Zone
… of these predators on mesopelagic prey using a Bayesian mixing model approach that estimated 50-60% of their temperate carbon is sourced from mesopelagic food webs. Next, I take a larger view of epi- and mesopelagic food webs by sampling simultaneously across a pelagic food web from bottom to …

Biogeography and potential factors regulating shallow subtidal reef communities in the western Indian Ocean
… nitrogen and sulphur isotopes and a three-source Bayesian mixing model to calculate proportional contributions, I determined that marine-derived POM formed the bulk of the diets of four species of filter-feeders, but the assimilation of riverine-derived POM was nevertheless notable, ranging from 8 …

Murky waters: discerning among sources of natural variation under high uncertainty and at multiple scales
… classes of high elevation lakes using a modular, Bayesian, stable isotope mixing model. Additionally, I quantified the influence of local- and regional-scale environmental drivers on flow and thermal regime across three flow-source classes of rivers using dynamic factor analysis. The most probable …
