Travaux préliminaires de modélisation des effets des changements climatiques sur le développement hydroélectrique du bas Churchill

Nalcor Energy planifie actuellement un projet hydroélectrique dans le bas Churchill, d’un coût prévu de 6 à 9 milliards de dollars. Étant donné l’échelle (plus de 2 800 MW) et la durée de vie potentielle de ce projet, les effets des changements climatiques sur les ressources en eau du fleuve Churchill doivent être projetés. Ce […]

Effect of Climate Change on the Hydroelectric Potential of the Lower Churchill River

Nalcor Energy is currently planning the development of a 2800 MW hydroelectric project on the lower Churchill River in Labrador. The Lower Churchill Project is the most attractive undeveloped hydroelectric project in North America. Hydro projects have long timelines and their viability is highly dependent on the expected hydrological regime of the watershed. Climate change […]

Ensemble analysis of climate change impacts on Churchill River, Labrador hydrology

The goal of the proposed research project is to develop a robust and useful analysis of the effects of climate change on the hydrology of the Churchill River watershed in Labrador. The partner organization, Nalcor Energy, is planning a multi-billion dollar hydroelectric development on the Churchill River and has a strong interest on the impact […]

Variations of Redox conditions across the Cambrian-Ordovician GSSP (Green Point Formation) in western Newfoundland (Canada): implications from the Trace element, Mo-, U-, C-, S- and N-isotope signatures

The specific investigation of the redox conditions of the Green Point Formation sediments will allow modelling the paleoceanographic conditions on a global basis particularly because the investigated formation is the Cambrian?Ordovician GSSP, which adds to the value of the contributions of the study to understanding the global distribution of source rocks around that time interval.

Diagenetic history porosity evolution of the sandstones and carbonates around the Labrador?Port au Port Group boundary, Belle Isle, Western Newfoundland

The proposed project investigates the diagenesis of the lowermost Port au Port carbonates in Western Newfoundland. Few earlier studies suggested that the carbonates vary from lime mudstones of low energy to grainstones and rudstones of high energy shallow-shelf settings. The study will allow the reconstruction of full diagenetic history of the basin and factors that […]
