World Wetlands Day 2018

Join the Ecohydrology Research Group on Friday, February 2nd, 2018 for the research symposium and public lecture held in celebration of World Wetlands Day!

World Wetlands Day 2018 Logo
Research Symposium 
  • Presentations from local researchers 

  • Three minute student research presentations

  • Poster session (registration deadline extended to January 26th)

Sustainably producing enough food for the world's growing population is one of this century’s defining challenges. Innovative solutions are needed to increase productivity without further degrading agricultural lands or adversely affecting local and global ecosystems. One promising avenue lies in understanding and managing the soil microbiome, which collectively provides critical ecosystem services that underpin both productivity and sustainability. Management practices that alter the soil environment also alter the soil microbiome.

Western University will be hosting this year's Canadian Geophysical Union Eastern Student Conference, on Saturday, March 17, 2018. Undergraduate and graduate students are welcome to present their research and proposed ideas at the conference. Please submit an abstract for a poster presentation if you are interested!

Submissions:

The re-emergence of large blooms of benthic filamentous algae in the lower Great Lakes during the late 1990s and early 2000s seemed to run counter to evidence of ecosystem recovery from eutrophication after point-source phosphorus controls were enacted under the Great Lakes under the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement.
