Water Quality in the Great Lakes: A Guided Tour 

The 2nd International Summit on Water Environmental Management will be held November 27th, 2017 in Nanjing, China. The Summit will bring together international audiences from academia, government, and industry and will serve as a forum for participants to exchange insights and generate knowledge on sustainable water management and promote international technology cooperation in water.

Dr. Philippe Van Cappellen will present a keynote lecture titled: "Evolving Concepts in Integrated Water Management - Environmental Indicators, Ecosystem Services and Environmental Flows".

Biogeochemical Cycling of Nutrient Silicon in a Human-Impacted Large Lake Nearshore Environment (Hamilton Harbour Area of Concern, Lake Ontario, Canada)

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

Research Symposium 

• Presentations from local researchers 

• Three minute student research presentations

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

The 1st International Conference on Water Security will be held in Toronto, Ontario. The conference complements the launch of Elsevier's new journal on Water Security. 

Themes and topics:

• How do water governance, institutions, aging infrastructure and finance come together to achieve water security in the developed world?
• The science of integrated water management (smart watersheds, water services, agricultural, energy, minerals and other use systems, environmental flows, legacies, collaborative governance, BMPs)
• Climate, renewable energy, economic development and demographic change and migration: challenges or opportunities for regional water security. Water security and conflict (either transboundary water cooperation or armed conflict and water)
