Ecohydrology group member, Helen Powley, will present her Ph.D. thesis proposal entitled,
Dynamic modelling of water and nutrient fluxes in the Mediterranean basin: linking land processes and marine ecosystems at the regional scale.
Rachele Fischer, previously a co-op student with the Ecohydrology research group, has been awarded a research internship to the University of Tuebingen, Germany. This twelve week internship is fully funded through the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). While there Rachel will be working on hydrological and geochemical controls on microbial activity in groundwater systems. Congratulations Rachele!
Beyond the trails and gardens, rare is home to many research projects investigating the different habitats and species. The rare Research Forum which will showcase a variety of research projects happening on our land. We will learn about the growing tall-grass prairie, predation of wasps on tree crickets, ecological restoration of meadows, and hear from many others about what their research is uncovering at rare. Refreshments will be offered.
