Helen defends her PhD!

Ralph Smith, Hans Durr, Helen Powley, Philippe Van Cappellen, Michael Krom
Helen Powley has successfully defended her PhD thesis titled “Phosphorus and Nitrogen Cycling in the Mediterranean Sea: circulation, biogeochemistry and anthropogenic forcing”. Helen completed her PhD with the Ecohydrology Research Group, at the University of Waterloo. Her advisory committee members were Dr. Philippe Van Cappellen, Dr.

Adrian Mellage, a PhD student in the Ecohydrology Research Group, has completed a successful two-month research exchange at Technion – Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, Israel. The exchange was part of an ongoing research collaboration between the Ecohydrology Research Group at the University of Waterloo and the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at Technion.

In a new paper published in Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Ecohydrology group members, Helen Powley and Philippe Van Cappellen, and collaborator Michael Krom, report on the sensitivity of dissolved oxygen distributions within the Mediterranean Sea to future climate driven changes in its thermohaline circulation. The results indicate that the oxygenation of the Mediterranean Sea is quite resilient to the projected changes in circulation.

Philippe Van Cappellen joined a delegation of the Water Institute to China. The delegation held talks with researchers and officials from Wuhan University, China University of Geosciences, Southwest University, Chongqing University, China Research Academy of Environmental Sciences (CRAES) and Hohai University.
