Lab Facilities

The Ecohydrology laboratories occupy over 300 m2 of space dedicated to modeling, biogeochemical experimentation, field sampling and environmental analysis. Research is organized into five experimental laboratories and one modeling laboratory. Our facilities allow us to investigate processes across a wide variety of spatio-temporal scales, from molecular interactions to regional biogeochemical cycles.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
