Title: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Earth System (Using the Silicon Cycle as an Example)

Silicon is an essential nutrient, both on land and in the oceans. The biological fixation of silicon (Si) under the form of structural elements composed of amorphous biogenic silica initiates the biological cycle of Si, and links it to those of carbon and other bioactive elements. Because the release of dissolved silicate by weathering of crustal rocks is a slow process, biosiliceous organisms are strongly dependent on the efficient recycling of biogenic silica in the environment.

Seminar with Ray Ison: "Australia’s Murray-Darling Basin, A systemic governance approach."

Environment 2, Room 2006, University of Waterloo

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
research from the Systemic Governance Research Program based
within the Monash Sustainability Institute to explore why the hopes
of many were quickly dashed. Drawing on our overall approach the

Farvolden Lecture Series and Symposium 2012

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.
