Water Institute Seminar by Althea Grundling

Dr. Althea Grundling, Agricultural Research Council, Institute for Soil, Climate and Water, South Africa, will deliver a seminar: South African Peatlands.

Abstract

Not all wetlands in South Africa are peatlands. Peatlands are characterised by the unique ability to accumulate and store dead organic matter from wetland vegetation under almost permanent water saturated conditions and low oxygen content. Peat is, therefore, not only a resource for soil carbon but also fresh water.

WISE Public Lecture Series: Demand Response & Capacity Auctions for Ontario

Ontario’s wholesale electricity market is the hub at the centre of our system matching buyers and suppliers in real time, ensuring reliability and efficient dispatch all the time.

In many respects this dynamic marketplace, administered by the IESO, has been the unsung hero of the Ontario electricity sector accommodating the once in a lifetime changes that are occurring – phase out of flexible coal-fired generation, renewables, smart meters and step changes in technology advancement such as energy storage.
