Surface Water Quality Differs between Functionally Similar Restored and Natural Wetlands of the Saint Lawrence River Valley in New York by Brendan Carberry, Tom A. Langen, Michael R. Twiss

“…Water quality (pH, alkalinity, colored dissolved organic matter, phytoplankton community composition, chlorophyll-a, fecal coliform, total phosphorus, dissolved nitrate, turbidity, specific conductivity) in 17 natural and 45 restored wetlands was compared to determine whether wetland restoration provided similar physicochemical conditions as natural wetlands in the Saint Lawrence River Valley of northeastern New York State. …”

Influence of the 2020 Seismic Hazard Update on Residential Losses in Greater Montreal, Canada by Philippe Rosset, Xuejiao Long, Luc Chouinard

“…Greater Montreal is situated in a region with moderate seismic activity and rests on soft ground deposits from the ancient Champlain Sea, as well as more recent alluvial deposits from the Saint Lawrence River. These deposits have the potential to amplify seismic waves, as demonstrated by past strong, and recent weak, earthquakes. …”

A Segmentation Approach to Identify Underwater Dunes from Digital Bathymetric Models by Willian Ney Cassol, Sylvie Daniel, Éric Guilbert

“…To validate the segmentation method, more than 850 dunes were segmented in the fluvio-marine context of the Northern Traverse of the Saint-Lawrence river. A performance rate of nearly 92% of well segmented dunes (i.e., true positive) was achieved.…”
