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.

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.

The Water Institute Research Symposium of 2013 will showcase the breadth of Waterloo's water research programs, focusing on areas of particular interest to our external partners and stakeholders. The symposium is an excellent opportunity to interact with our researchers and students.

Research Symposium 2013 will be immediately followed by our annual Distinguished Lecture, Student Poster Competition and Reception.

Ecohydrology hosts session at Goldschmidt conference in 2013

Philippe Van Cappellen and Ana Lima of the Ecohydrology research group along with Pasi Peltola will be hosting a session in the Hydrogeochemistry theme at the Goldschmidt conference in 2013. The title of the session is Urban Biogeochemistry. Hope to see you there!

Come join us for the Annual Science Open House. Follow the water drops to the Ecohydrology room for our Let’s Talk Science activities - educational fun for both kids and adults!
