Impact of future climate change on water temperature and thermal habitat for keystone fishes in the Lower Saint John River, Canada (2018)
Journal Article
Dugdale, S. J., Curry, R. A., St-Hilaire, A., & Andrews, S. N. (2018). Impact of future climate change on water temperature and thermal habitat for keystone fishes in the Lower Saint John River, Canada. Water Resources Management, 32(15), 4853-4878. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11269-018-2057-7

Water temperature is a key determinant of biological processes in rivers. Temperature in northern latitude rivers is expected to increase under climate change, with potentially adverse consequences for cold water-adapted species. In Canada, little is...

Thermal infrared imaging for the detection of relatively warm lacustrine groundwater discharge at the surface of freshwater bodies (2018)
Journal Article
Marruedo Arricibita, A. I., Dugdale, S. J., Krause, S., Hannah, D. M., & Lewandowski, J. (2018). Thermal infrared imaging for the detection of relatively warm lacustrine groundwater discharge at the surface of freshwater bodies. Journal of Hydrology, 562, 281-289. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2018.05.004

Thermal infrared (TIR) imaging has been previously applied to survey relatively large thermal footprints in coastal zones, lakes, reservoirs and rivers. In freshwater systems, the buoyancy of relatively warm groundwater during the winter months allow...

Avian sensor packages for meteorological measurements (2018)
Journal Article
Thomas, R. M., MacKenzie, A. R., Reynolds, S. J., Sadler, J. P., Cropley, F., Bell, S., …Cai, X. (2018). Avian sensor packages for meteorological measurements. Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 99(3), 499-511. https://doi.org/10.1175/bams-d-16-0181.1

The increasing miniaturization of accurate, reliable meteorological sensors and logging systems allows the deployment of sensor packages on lightweight airborne platforms. Here, we demonstrate the safe and humane use of avian species (white-tailed an... Read More about Avian sensor packages for meteorological measurements.

Understanding summertime thermal refuge use by adult Atlantic salmon using remote sensing, river temperature monitoring, and acoustic telemetry (2018)
Journal Article
Frechette, D. M., Dugdale, S. J., Dodson, J. J., & Bergeron, N. E. (2018). Understanding summertime thermal refuge use by adult Atlantic salmon using remote sensing, river temperature monitoring, and acoustic telemetry. Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 75(11), 1999-2010. https://doi.org/10.1139/cjfas-2017-0422

Adult Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) return to natal rivers several months before spawning and during summer can be subjected to temperatures that exceed their upper temperature tolerance limits. Salmon use thermal refuges to minimize exposure to high...

Effect of discharge and habitat type on the occurrence and severity of Didymosphenia geminata mats in the Restigouche River, eastern Canada (2018)
Journal Article
Gillis, C., Dugdale, S. J., & Bergeron, N. E. (2018). Effect of discharge and habitat type on the occurrence and severity of Didymosphenia geminata mats in the Restigouche River, eastern Canada. Ecohydrology, 11(5), Article e1959. https://doi.org/10.1002/eco.1959

Copyright © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Since 2006, the Restigouche River watershed, eastern Canada, has been affected by nuisance growths of the mat-forming diatom, Didymosphenia geminata. In 2010, in view of the potential impacts of this alga on...
