Many Ecohydrology group members will be presenting posters and lightning talks and/or participating as attendees at the Global Water Futures (GWF) 2021 Open Science Meeting, which is happening online from May 17-19.
The Murray-Darling River Basin (MDB) is Australia's most economically
and culturally significant river system. In 2007 a new Water Act
was introduced that was seen by many to be the harbinger of a Commonwealth-led basin-saving era. In this presentation I will use recent

within the Monash Sustainability Institute to explore why the hopes
of many were quickly dashed. Drawing on our overall approach the

Abstract:
The Farvolden Lecture Series, hosted by the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Waterloo, was initiated in 1996 as an annual celebration in honour of Dr. Robert N. Farvolden. The Lecture Series fosters interaction and communication between the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, the alumni of the hydrogeology program and the groundwater community at large.
This year's lecture features Andre Beland (Vice President Engineering and Construction SNC-Lavlin, Libya Branch).
We are please to announce that Ecohydrology group member Xu Zhang will defend his MSc thesis titled, Aqueous Speciation of Selenium during its uptake by Green Algae Chlamdomanas Reinhardtii.
A day-long celebration of World Water Day, highlighting university water research and raising awareness of local and global water issues.
Guest speakers will highlight the day which will also include an afternoon of poster presentations, display booths and networking opportunities.
The keynote speakers and documentary film to be shown are:
The Ecohydrology Research Group at the University of Waterloo is embarking on a feasibility study to assess the potential for using remote sensing and/or autonomous infrared sensors to monitor the distributions of microplastics in the oceans and large lakes. Field trials will focus on the Great Lakes.
